This multi-center retrospective study examined the effect of weight loss on prevention progression to cirrhosis in a sample exclusively composed patients with obesity and MASH-related F3 liver fibrosis. Adult biopsy-confirmed fibrosis (n = 101) from two transplant centers US were included study. A higher proportion who did not progress achieved >5% at follow-up (59% vs. 30%, p 0.045). In multivariable analysis, had lower hazard developing compared no or gain (HR: 0.29, 95%, CI:...
Abstract Background Computed tomography enterography (CTE) is frequently used to assess stricturing Crohn’s disease (CD). However, the reliability of CTE items for assessment has not been established and there no validated radiologic stricture severity index. Methods We conducted a retrospective study 43 patients with symptomatic, terminal ileal CD.
