Metabolic Cause of Cirrhosis Is the Emerging Etiology for Primary Liver Cancer in the Asia-Oceania Region: Analysis of Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021.

Introduction: Studies have shown a change in the etiological profile of liver cancer globally. We aimed to analyze the burden and changes in etiology of liver cancer in the Asia-Oceania region.

Methods: The burden of liver cancer in Asia-Oceania was estimated using data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study.

Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis: Etiology, Microbiology, and Clinical Outcomes in Cirrhosis Patients.

Objective: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a critical complication in patients with liver cirrhosis, often resulting in high mortality. Understanding the microbiological agents causing SBP and their antibiotic resistance patterns is essential for effective treatment, particularly in tertiary care settings. This prospective observational study aimed to identify the microbial profile of SBP, evaluate antibiotic sensitivity, and assess patient outcomes.
