Article Synopsis
- Patients with neuromuscular disorders often need gastrostomy tubes for feeding but face challenges with sedation due to airway control issues, making intubation risky.
- A study reviewed 12 patients who successfully received G-tube placements using only local anesthesia from 2013 to 2019, showing 100% technical success and no major complications.
- The findings suggest that local anesthesia is a safe and viable option for G-tube placement in patients who cannot undergo sedation, alleviating concerns about ventilator dependence.
Background: Several HCC risk stratification scores were developed; however, none has been prospectively validated. The primary aim is to validate the clinical utility of six HCC risk scores in large prospective study of F3-4 patients achieving SVR following DAAs according to EASL guidelines. The secondary aim is to explore whether individualized risk stratification improves detection of HCC at early stages amenable to curative treatment.

Methods: A retrospective observational analysis of data was obtained from seven countries (Egypt, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Turkey, Greece, Oman, Qatar, and Jordan) of CHB patients.
