December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study examines patients with nodular regenerative hyperplasia, focusing on their clinical and histopathological features, as well as comparing results with existing literature.
- Out of 82 patients, 45% had signs of portal hypertension at diagnosis, while 33% were diagnosed incidentally during other procedures.
- The research found that patients diagnosed incidentally had fewer liver-related complications and were more likely to have associated conditions compared to those diagnosed by clinical suspicion.

5-year mortality of alcohol-related cirrhosis: patients die just as much but not in the same manner.
Acta Gastroenterol Belg
October 2022
Background And Study Aim: Patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis have a poor short-term prognosis. We aimed to determine whether the 5-year mortality of alcohol-related cirrhosis has changed over the past two decades in our institution.
Patients And Methods: From January 1995 to December 2014, 932 cirrhotic patients who attended the hepatology outpatient's clinics of our institution were consecutively listed in a registry.
Objective: This study aimed to describe the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on emergency department (ED) admissions for urgent diagnoses.
Methods: From January 1, 2019, until December 31, 2020, patients older than 18 years who attended the ED at University Hospital of Leuven (UZ Leuven, Belgium) were included. Urgent diagnoses selected in the First Hour Quintet were collected.
