Article Synopsis
- Increasing evidence links secondary sclerosing cholangitis (SSC) as a potential long-term complication of severe COVID-19, particularly in patients requiring invasive ventilation.
- An observational study at University Hospital Charité Berlin analyzed 1,082 ventilated COVID-19 patients, identifying that 1 in 43 developed SSC, with risk factors including systemic low oxygen levels and multi-organ failure.
- The study highlights that SSC occurs in critically ill patients, likely due to severe tissue hypoxia and related circulatory issues, predicting a rise in SSC cases in the post-COVID-19 landscape.
