Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of biological therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients aged 65 and older, addressing a gap in existing research primarily focused on younger populations.
- A total of 1,090 elderly patients were included, with findings showing that a significant portion achieved clinical remission after treatment, particularly by the 52-week mark.
- Although the therapies were generally safe, there was a notable occurrence of oncological events, with variations in incidence rates depending on the specific treatment used.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of liver and spleen stiffness measurement by transient elastography for the prediction of gastroesophageal varices in patients with HCV-associated cirrhosis treated with new direct-acting antiviral agents.
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included patients with compensated HCV-related cirrhosis and sustained virological response after direct-acting antiviral therapy. Patients underwent liver and spleen stiffness measurement, abdominal ultrasound and oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy.
