Cirrhosis has been pointed out as a clinical entity that leads to worse prognosis in COVID-19 patients. However, this concept is controversial the literature. We aimed evaluate outcomes by comparing patients with cirrhosis those without Brazilian cohort. Data from 20,164 inpatients were collected 41 hospitals Brazil between March September 2020 and 2021 August 2022. compared 117 632 matched controls. A propensity score model was used adjust for potential confounding variables, incorporating...
Abstract Background There is scarce data related to chronic liver disease in some developing countries, including prognosis and behavior face of SARS-Cov-2 infection. In this context, robust studies from Latin America investigating the clinical outcomes COVID-19 patients with cirrhosis are lacking. Therefore, study aimed compare features between COVID-infected inpatients without Brazil. Methods This a substudy multicenter retrospective cohort 41 Brazilian hospitals diagnosed March September...
Effective control of the inflammatory process in Crohn's disease (CD) is reflected intestinal mucosal healing. The performances faecal calprotectin (fcal), clinical and serologic parameters activity evaluation their correlation to simple endoscopic score (SES-CD) are goals this study.Patients with CD referred for ileocolonoscopy were prospectively included distributed according degree into remission, mild activity, moderate severe groups. different degrees correlated following indexes: index...
Chagas cardiomyopathy (CDC) is associated with a poor prognosis compared to other cardiomyopathies. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), which provides direct assessment of myocardial fiber deformation, may be useful in predicting prognosis.This study assessed STE CDC and idiopathic (IDC), also examined the incremental prognostic information over left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) these patients.We enrolled 112 patients, age 56.7 ± 11.8 years, 81 31 IDC. indices were obtained at...
Understanding the treatment landscape of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is essential for improving disease management and patient outcomes. Brazil largest Latin American country, it presents socioeconomic health care differences across its geographical regions. This country has highest increase in IBD incidence prevalence America, but information about clinical characteristics scarce.
Microscopic bowel inflammation is present in up to 60% of all patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and appears be associated more severe joint disease a higher risk developing inflammatory (IBD). This study aimed determine the utility fecal calprotectin (fCAL) evaluating endoscopic histological SpA patients.Ileocolonoscopies biopsies fCAL measurements were performed 65 SpA.In 47 (72.3%) patients, levels than 50 μg/g, whereas 20 (30.7%), these greater 250 μg/g. A total 38 (58.5%) presented...

Deposition of Schistosoma mansoni eggs in the brain patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HS-SM) is frequent and usually asymptomatic. However, it questioned whether could cause seizures. Thus, we investigated occurrence seizures these also searched for parameters associated this disorder.In a cross-sectional survey, compared 128 HS-SM 102 portal hypertension due to compensated chronic hepatic disease other etiologies. A standardized questionnaire, emphasizing epilepsy-related...
