Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alessandra Pigliacelli"
- Alessandra Pigliacelli's research primarily focuses on the impact of sarcopenia, myosteatosis, and hepatic encephalopathy on the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis, especially in relation to the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score.
- Her 2019 study published in "Dig Liver Dis" suggests that these complications independently contribute to patient survival, potentially enhancing the predictive accuracy of MELD for those at high risk.
- Additionally, her research in "Clin Transl Gastroenterol" highlights the association between reduced muscle mass and the progression to acute-on-chronic liver failure in patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, indicating the importance of muscle mass as a prognostic marker.
