Women with cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation (LT) experience higher rates of waitlist mortality than men; it is unknown whether practices surrounding delisting for being "too sick" LT contribute to this disparity beyond death alone. We conducted an analysis patients listed in the United Network Organ Sharing/Organ Procurement and Transplantation not receiving exception points from May 1, 2007 July 2014 a primary outcome removal codes or "medically unsuitable." A total 44 388 were...
Abstract Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 10% of reproductive‐aged women, and is marked by irregular menses high androgens. PCOS a known risk factor for imaging‐confirmed steatosis, we now aim to evaluate whether influences histologic severity non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods Retrospective study women ages 18‐45 years with biopsy‐confirmed NAFLD between 2008 2019. Metabolic comorbidities were captured within 6 months biopsy. Histologic features...
Objectives: Young women with hyperandrogenism have high risk of metabolic co-morbidities, including increased nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Whether testosterone (the predominant androgen) is associated NAFLD independent co-factors unclear. Additionally, whether confers in without unknown. Methods: Among the prospective population-based multicenter Coronary Artery Risk Development Adults (CARDIA) study, we assessed free levels measured at Year 2 (1987–1988) were prevalent 25...
Abstract Background and Aims Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) disproportionately affects young women, which may have implications in pregnancy. However, data on pregnancy outcomes women with AIH are limited. Approach Results Using weighted discharge from the United States National Inpatient Sample 2012 to 2016, we evaluated pregnancies after 20 weeks gestation compared other chronic liver diseases (CLD) or no CLD The association of maternal perinatal was assessed by logistic regression. Among...
Since the introduction of MELD-based allocation system, women are now 30% less likely than men to undergo liver transplant (LT) and have 20% higher waitlist mortality. These disparities in large part due height differences though no national policies been implemented reduce sex disparities. Patients were identified using Scientific Registry Transplant Recipients (SRTR) from 2014 2019. categorized into five groups by first dividing thirds then shortest third three capture more granular most...
Summary. Asians Americans have a high burden of hepatitis B virus (HBV) associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC screening practices in this population are unknown. We aimed to investigate predictors and patterns its impact on survival HBV‐infected Asian Americans. Clinical data were obtained from retrospective cohort 1870 HBsAg‐positive San Francisco’s safety net clinics. In 824 patients at‐risk for HCC, (≥1 imaging and/or AFP per year) decreased 67% 47% 24% the 1st 2nd 10th year...
INTRODUCTION: Cross-sectional data note lower levels of testosterone and sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG) in men with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Whether hormone young are predictive later risk NAFLD is not known. METHODS: Among the prospective population-based multicenter Coronary Artery Risk Development Young Adults study (mean age 50; n = 837), we assessed whether SHBG measured at year 10 (median 35 years) were associated prevalent 25. was defined using noncontrast...
Solid organ transplantation (SOT) offers people with end-stage disease an increased quality of life, which includes the return fertility and potential for pregnancy. Although number pregnancies has increased, definitive recommendations have been lacking. To address reproductive health in SOT recipients, American Society Transplantation Women’s Health Community Practice held a virtual Controversies Conference subject matter experts gathered to discuss topics contraception, immunosuppression,...
Background: Hepatic steatosis is increasing worldwide. Whether HIV and its associated metabolic perturbations exacerbate unclear. Sex differences in adipose tissue distribution may also affect risk. We examined the contribution of sex to steatosis. Methods: Using MRI spectroscopy, visceral (VAT) liver fat fraction (LFF) were measured 121 HIV-infected 107 uninfected men women without viral hepatitis. Differences LFF by status evaluated using multivariable linear regression, adjusting for...
