Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the risk of liver cancer in cirrhotic patients with indeterminate liver nodules, aiming to identify potential predictors for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- - Over a seven-year follow-up of 116 patients, 16% developed HCC, with significant associations found between HCC incidence and factors like smoking, nodule size over 2 cm, and specific LI-RADS scores.
- - The results highlight a concerning trend, with up to 30% of patients at risk for HCC after seven years, emphasizing the need for more intensive monitoring and clearer management strategies for these patients.
Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was once known to be specific to type-1 diabetes-mellitus (T1D); however, many cases are now seen in patients with type-2 diabetes-mellitus (T2D). Little is known about how this etiology shift affects DKA's outcomes.
Methods: We studied consecutive index DKA admissions from January 2015 to March 2021.
