Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) carries a significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. AP is a potential complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) although its incidence remains unclear. HSCT recipients are at increased risk of AP due to various factors but the effect of AP on mortality and resource utilization in the adult population has not been studied. We investigated the impact of AP on hospitalization outcomes among patients following HSCT.

Methods: We queried the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes. All adult patients with a diagnosis or procedure code of HSCT were included in the study. Patients were divided into those with a diagnosis of AP and those without. Sensitivity analysis was performed for patients with a length of stay greater than 28 days. The relationship between AP and mortality, length of stay, total hospitalization cost, and charges was assessed using univariate analysis followed by multivariate analysis.

Results: Of the 140,130 adult patients with HSCT, 855 (0.61%) patients developed AP. There was 1.74 times higher risk of mortality in patients with AP as compared to controls (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.74, P = 0.0055). There was no statistically significant difference in the length of stay, hospitalization charge, or cost before sensitivity analysis. After sensitivity analysis, 13,240 patients were included, from which 125 (0.94%) had AP. There was 3.85 times higher risk of mortality in patients who developed AP as compared to controls (aOR: 3.85, P = 0.003). There was a statistically significant increase noted in the length of stay (adj coeff: 20.3 days, P = 0.002), hospital charges (+$346,616, P = 0.017), and cost (+$121,932.4, P = 0.001) in patients with AP as compared to those who did not develop AP.

Conclusion: Recipients of HSCT who develop AP have shown to have higher mortality on sensitivity analysis. This study highlights that AP in HSCT patients is associated with worse outcomes and higher resource utilization. Physicians should be aware of this association as the presence of pancreatitis portends a poor prognosis.

Because of the lengthening of their life-expectancy, more people with cystic fibrosis (CF) now pursue parenthood. To explore the experience of parenting while having CF, 18 French parents with CF were interviewed (including 12 mothers and 9 participants with a lung transplant). A thematic analysis of the interview transcripts was conducted.

Objectives: To assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five patients (mean age 62 years) diagnosed with cT1-2 N0 underwent SLNB with Tc, lymphoscintigraphy/SPECT-CT, and gamma probe detection with intraoperative histological examination of the resected sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). Elective neck dissection was performed during the same surgical procedure of primary tumor resection when malignant deposits were detected microscopically.

Comprehensive Non-invasive Versus Invasive Approach to Evaluate Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy in Heart Transplantation: The CCTA-HTx Study.

Circ Cardiovasc Imaging

January 2025

Cardiovascular Center Aalst, Onze-Lieve-Vrouwziekenhuis (OLV) Clinic, Aalst, Belgium (M. Belmonte, P.P., M.M.V., M. Beles, H.O., R.S., G.E., M.S., R.D., W.H., J.V.K., J.B., M.V.).

Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is emerging as a valuable tool for noninvasive surveillance of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) in patients with heart transplant (HTx). We assessed the diagnostic performance of a comprehensive CCTA-based approach compared with the invasive reference, which includes invasive coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and fractional flow reserve, for detecting CAV.

Methods: This was a multicenter prospective study including 37 patients with HTx who underwent CCTA, invasive coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound, and fractional flow reserve.
