Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection is highly prevalent in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). AASLD guidelines recommend a risk-based screening approach. Our aim was to ascertain if the approach leads appropriate HDV screening, identify targets improve rates, and study clinical burden. CHB screened for from 01/2016 12/2021 were identified. Level of training specialty providers ordering tests determined. seropositive (HDV+) patient charts reviewed presence individual risk factors per...
Abstract Background Guidelines recommend kidney transplant alone (KTA) in compensated cirrhosis based on a few small studies, but this is not widely performed despite its potential benefit to patients and the organ supply. Our aim was determine outcomes of KTA with cirrhosis. Study design From 1/2012 12/2021, recipients were retrospectively compared chronic liver disease (CLD) no Patients also matched cohort (based age, time hemodialysis, sex, ethnicity) without CLD. The included patient...
The objective of our study was to assess the pain associated with suctioning in preterm neonates on assisted ventilation and comparing use expressed breast milk (EBM), sucrose, swaddling alleviate pain.Study design: A randomized controlled clinical trial.Preterm ventilation.Major congenital anomalies severe encephalopathy.6 months level III neonatal Intensive Care Unit. In first phase, we used premature infant profile (PIPP) score ventilation. second effect EBM, swaddling, sucrose relief...
Severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) that is nonresponsive to corticosteroids associated with high mortality, particularly concomitant acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Most patients will not be candidates for transplantation (LT) and their outcomes are largely unknown. Our aim was determine the of these declined derive practical prediction models transplant-free survival applicable at time waitlist decision.
Abstract Background Contemporary research in peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains limited due to lack of a national registry and low accuracy diagnosis codes identify PAD patients electronic health records. Methods & Results Leveraging novel natural language processing (NLP) system that identifies with high using ankle brachial index (ABI) toe-brachial (TBI) values, we created 103,748 new onset the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Study endpoints include mortality, cardiovascular...
Abstract Background Although peripheral artery disease (PAD) is common and associated with a high risk of mortality, contemporary PAD research remains limited due to poor accuracy diagnosis codes in the electronic health record (EHR). We previously developed validated novel natural language processing (NLP) algorithm that can extract ankle brachial index (ABI) toe-brachial (TBI) values from clinical documents identify patients (positive predictive value 92.4%). Purpose Scale NLP system for...
Background: Survival after an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) varies markedly across hospitals in the U.S. Whether with IHCA survival also excel ‘preventing’ remains unclear. Methods: Using 2013-2019 data from Get-With-The-Guidelines–Resuscitation (GWTG-R) registry linked Medicare and American Hospital Association data, we identified all patients > 65 years at participating hospitals. two-level hierarchical multivariable regression models, calculated hospital rates of incidence,...
Background: Current guidelines recommend high-intensity statins in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and limb events. The extent which these recommendations have been adopted a large integrated health system remains uncertain. Methods: Using novel natural language processing that we previously developed validated for identifying PAD, created registry new diagnosis PAD during 2015-2020 Veterans Health Administration (VHA). We used VHA pharmacy...

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis arises from a systemic inflammatory response, and its severe forms are associated with significant morbidity mortality. The main causes of this condition alcohol consumption gallstones, additional factors including infections, metabolic autoimmune disorders, iatrogenic injuries, rarely, certain medications. Drug-induced (DIP) is relatively uncommon occurrence, an estimated incidence 0.1%-2%. Here, we present case acute Irbesartan. Case Description/Methods: A...
Introduction: Collagenous gastritis (CG) is a rare disease characterized by infiltration of the lamina propria with mononuclear cells and subepithelial collagen deposition. We present case young man CG. Case Description/Methods: A 23-year-old presented few months dyspepsia, exacerbated acidic spicy foods. He also reported associated dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, weight loss. Physical examination was unremarkable, non-tender abdomen. Due to his age, eosinophilic esophagitis high on...
Introduction: Gastric lipomas (GL) are rare benign tumors, accounting for less than 1% of all gastric tumors arising from adipose tissue within the stomach. They often asymptomatic and slow growing but can cause symptoms complications such as outlet obstruction gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. We present a case GL incidentally discovered during an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) melena. Case Description/Methods: A 66-year-old man with medical history hypertension, prostate hyperplasia,...
