Atorvastatin and fluvastatin are associated with dose‐dependent reductions in cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, among patients with hepatitis C virus: Results from ERCHIVES

Tracey G. Simon, Hector Bonilla, Peng Yan, Raymond T. Chung, Adeel A. Butt – 18 February 2016 – Statins are associated with delayed fibrosis progression and a reduced risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV).

The impact of broader regional sharing of livers: 2‐year results of “Share 35”

Erick B. Edwards, Ann M. Harper, Ryutaro Hirose, David C. Mulligan – 17 February 2016 – In June of 2013, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) implemented regional sharing for Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD)/Pediatric End‐Stage Liver Disease (PELD) candidates with scores reaching 35 and above (“Share 35”). The goal of this distribution change was to increase access to lifesaving transplants for the sickest candidates with chronic liver disease and to reduce the waiting‐list mortality for this medically urgent group of patients.
