Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate how often severe bleeding occurs after proctological surgery and to identify risk factors, especially in the context of guidelines for anticoagulant treatment.
  • - Out of 8,890 patients, only 0.7% required a hemostatic procedure, with a higher risk after hemorrhoidal surgeries, particularly the Milligan-Morgan procedure; blood transfusion was rare (0.1%).
  • - Findings indicated that the use of anticoagulants and platelet inhibitors, when managed according to recommendations, did not increase bleeding risk; surprisingly, active smokers had a lower risk of severe bleeding compared to non-smokers.

Unlabelled: Biochemical response to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is variable. It has been recently proposed that an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) decline of more than 40% in baseline value or a normal level after 1 year of UDCA treatment (Barcelona criteria) could serve as a good marker of long-term prognosis. Our aim was to define the best efficient set of biochemistries able to identify UDCA-treated patients at risk of death or liver transplantation (LT).
