Screening for upper gastrointestinal cancers with magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy: a feasibility study.

Background: The medical consortium is an intensive and disease-specific association that integrates tertiary public hospitals and medical examination centers in China. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the medical consortium for screening upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers (MCSC) by magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy (MCCG).

Methods: 6627 asymptomatic subjects underwent MCCG as part of health check-ups in the MCSC between March and November 2018.

Multivariate regression analysis on early mortality after orthotopic liver transplantation.

Aim: To identify the risk factors relating to early mortality after orthotopic liver transplantation.

Methods: Clinical data of 37 adult patients undergoing liver transplantation were retrospectively collected and divided into two groups: the survived group and the death group (survival time<30 d). The relationship between multivariate risk factors and early mortality after orthotopic liver transplantation were analyzed by stepwise logistic regression.
