| 1 | Comparison of fatty liver index with noninvasive methods for steatosis detection and quantification显示文摘AIM:To compare noninvasive methods presently used for steatosis detection and quantification in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).METHODS:Cross-sectional study of subjects from the general population,a subgroup from the First Israeli National Health Survey,without excessive alcohol consumption or viral hepatitis.All subjects underwent anthropometric measurements and fasting blood tests.Evaluation of liver fat was performed using four noninvasive methods:the SteatoTest;the fatty liver index(FLI);regular abdominal ultrasound(AUS);and the hepatorenal ultrasound index(HRI).Two of the noninvasive methods have been validated vs liver biopsy and were considered as the reference methods:the HRI,the ratio between the median brightness level of the liver and right kidney cortex;and the SteatoTest,a biochemical surrogate marker of liver steatosis.The FLI is calculated by an algorithm based on triglycerides,body mass index,γ-glutamyl-transpeptidase and waist circumference,that has been validated only vs AUS.FLI < 30 rules out and FLI ≥ 60 rules in fatty liver.RESULTS:Three hundred and thirty-eight volunteers met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and had valid tests.The prevalence rate of NAFLD was 31.1% according to AUS.The FLI was very strongly correlated with SteatoTest(r = 0.91,P < 0.001) and to a lesser but significant degree with HRI(r = 0.55,P < 0.001).HRI and SteatoTest were significantly correlated(r = 0.52,P < 0.001).The κ between diagnosis of fatty liver by SteatoTest(≥ S2) and by FLI(≥ 60) was 0.74,which represented good agreement.The sensitivity of FLI vs SteatoTest was 85.5%,specificity 92.6%,positive predictive value(PPV) 74.7%,and negative predictive value(NPV) 96.1%.Most subjects(84.2%) with FLI < 60 had S0 and none had S3-S4.The κ between diagnosis of fatty liver by HRI(≥ 1.5) and by FLI(≥ 60) was 0.43,which represented only moderate agreement.The sensitivity of FLI vs HRI was 56.3%,specificity 86.5%,PPV 57.0%,and NPV 86.1%.The diagnostic accuracy of FLI for steatosis > 5%,as predicted by SteatoTest,yielded an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC) of 0.97(95% CI:0.95-0.98).The diagnostic accuracy of FLI for steatosis> 5%,as predicted by HRI,yielded an AUROC of 0.82(95% CI:0.77-0.87).The κ between diagnosis of fatty liver by AUS and by FLI(≥ 60) was 0.48 for the entire sample.However,after exclusion of all subjects with an intermediate FLI score of 30-60,the κ between diagnosis of fatty liver by AUS and by FLI either ≥ 60 or < 30 was 0.65,representing good agreement.Excluding all the subjects with an intermediate FLI score,the sensitivity of FLI was 80.3% and the specificity 87.3%.Only 8.5% of those with FLI < 30 had fatty liver on AUS,but 27.8% of those with FLI ≥ 60 had normal liver on AUS.CONCLUSION:FLI has striking agreement with SteatoTest and moderate agreements with AUS or HRI.However,if intermediate values are excluded FLI has high diagnostic value vs AUS. | Shira Zelber-Sagi Muriel Webb Nimer Assy Laurie Blendis Hanny Yeshua Moshe Leshno Vlad Ratziu Zamir Halpern Ran Oren Erwin Santo | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,1: | 8 |
| 2 | Older age, longer procedures and tandem endoscopic-ultrasound as risk factors for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography bacteremia显示文摘BACKGROUND Clinically significant post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) bacteremia(PEB) occurs in up to 5% of cases, while antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended only when an ERCP is unlikely to achieve complete biliary drainage. However, the current recommendations may not cover all potential risk factors for PEB.AIM To identify novel risk factors for PEB and evaluate appropriateness of antibiotic prophylaxis.METHODS A retrospective study of 1082 ERCP procedures performed between January 2012-December 2013 in a single tertiary medical center. Data collection included: Demographic and clinical characteristics such as pre and post procedure antibiotic treatment and bacterial blood cultures. Exclusion criteria were:(1) Age < 18 years;(2) Positive bacterial blood culture before ERCP;(3) Scheduled antibiotic treatment prior to ERCP;(4) Hospitalization longer than 14 d before ERCP;and(5) missing critical data. Stepwise Logistic Regression analysis and Decision Tree algorithms were used for prediction modeling of PEB.RESULTS A total of 626 ERCPs performed in 434 patients were included. Mean age 66.49 ± 15.4 years and 46.5% were males. PEB prevalence was 3.7%. Antibiotic prophylaxis was administrated in 139/626(22.2%) cases but was indicated according to the guidelines only in 44/626(7%) cases. In all the PEB cases, prophylaxis was deemed not indicated. A stepwise logistic regression [receiver operating characteristic(ROC), 0.766], identified 3 variables as independent risk factors for PEB: Age at ERCP ≥ 75 years(OR, 3.780, 95%CI: 1.519-9.408, P = 0.004);Tandem EUS/ERCP with fine needle aspiration(FNA)(OR, 14.528, 95%CI: 3.571-59.095, P < 0.001);ERCP duration longer than 60 min(OR, 5.396, 95%CI: 1.86-15.656, P = 0.002). In a decision tree model(ROC, 0.778) the probability for PEB without any risk factors was 1% regardless of prophylaxis administration.CONCLUSION The prevalence of PEB in our study is similar to previous reports, despite the fact that antibiotic prophylaxis was administrated more readily than recommended. ERCP duration longer than 60 min, tandem EUS-ERCP with FNA and age above 75 years are significant risk factors for PEB. These factors should be further evaluated as indications for prophylactic antibiotic treatment before ERCP. | Liat Deutsch Shay Matalon Adam Phillips Moshe Leshno Oren Shibolet Erwin Santo | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,41: | 3 |
| 3 | Increased fibrosis progression rates in hepatitis C patients carrying the prothrombin G20210A mutation显示文摘AIM: To examine whether hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients who carry hypercoagulable mutationssuffer from increased rates of liver fi brosis. METHODS: We analyzed DNA samples of 168 HCV patients for three common hypercoagulable gene mutations: prothrombin 20210 (PT20210), factor V Leiden (FV Leiden) and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). The patients were consecutively recruited as part of the prospective 'Fibroscore Study' in France. The effect of the various mutations on the rate of fi-brosis was analyzed statistically and was correlated with epidemiological, clinical and biochemical data such as grade and stage of liver biopsies, patients' risk factors for liver cirrhosis, and timing of infection. RESULTS: Fifty two of the patients were categorized as 'fast fi brosers' and 116 as 'slow fi brosers'; 13% of the 'fast fi brosers' carried the PT20210 mutation as compared with 5.5% of the 'slow fi brosers', with an odds ratio of 4.76 (P = 0.033; 95% CI: 1.13-19.99) for 'fast' liver fibrosis. Carriage of MTHFR or FV Leiden mutations was not associated with enhanced liver fi brosis. CONCLUSION: Carriage of the PT20210 mutation is related to an increased rate of liver fi brosis in HCV patients. | Nitsan Maharshak Philippe Halfon Varda Deutsch Hava Peretz Shlomo Berliner Sigal Fishman Shira Zelber-Sagi Uri Rozovski Moshe Leshno Ran Oren | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,45: | 2 |

| 9 | Cost effectiveness of routine duodenal biopsies in iron deficiency anemia显示文摘AIM To investigate the cost effectiveness of routine small bowel biopsies(SBBs) in patients with iron deficiency anemia(IDA) independent of their celiac disease(CD) serology test results.METHODS We used a state transition Markov model. Two strategies were compared: routine SBBs during esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) in all patients with IDA regardless their celiac serology status(strategy A) vs SBBs only in IDA patients with positive serology(strategy B). The main outcomes were quality adjusted life years(QALY),average cost and the incremental cost effectiveness ratio(ICER). One way sensitivity analysis was performed on all variables and two way sensitivity analysis on selected variables were done. In order to validate the results,a Monte Carlo simulation of 100 sample trials with 10,and an acceptability curve were performed.RESULTS Strategy A of routine SBBs yielded 19.888 QALYs with a cost of $218.10 compared to 19.887 QALYs and $234.17 in strategy B. In terms of cost-effectiveness,strategy A was the dominant strategy,as long as the cost of SBBs stayed less than $67. In addition,the ICER of strategy A was preferable,providing the cost of biopsy stays under $77. Monte Carlo simulation demonstrated that strategy A yielded the same QALY but with lower costs than strategy B. CONCLUSION Our model suggests that EGD with routine SBBs is a cost-effective approach with improved QALYs in patients with IDA when the prevalence of CD is 5% or greater. SBBs should be a routine screening tool for CD among patients with IDA,regardless of their celiac antibody status. | Efrat Broide Shay Matalon Ofra Kriger-Sharabi Vered Richter Haim Shirin Moshe Leshno | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,34: | 0 |
