Mounika Kanneganti, Jorge A. Marrero, Neehar D. Parikh, Fasiha Kanwal, Takeshi Yokoo, Mishal Mendiratta‐Lala, Nicole E. Rich, Purva Gopal, Amit G. Singal – 17 August 2022 – Patients with indeterminate liver nodules, classified as LR‐3 and LR‐4 observations per the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System, are at risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but risk estimates remain imprecise.

Outcomes of patients with acute liver failure listed for liver transplantation: A multicenter prospective cohort analysis

Constantine J. Karvellas, Thomas M. Leventhal, Jorge L. Rakela, Jingwen Zhang, Valerie Durkalski, K. Rajender Reddy, Robert J. Fontana, R. Todd Stravitz, John R. Lake, William M. Lee, Justin R. Parekh – 17 August 2022 – Liver transplantation (LT) is a life‐saving treatment for patients with acute liver failure (ALF).

Combined liver transplantation and sleeve gastrectomy: Report of a brief‐interval staged approach

Nabil Tariq, Ashish Saharia, Ugoeze Nwokedi, Mark J. Hobeika, Constance M. Mobley, David Hsu, Lucy M. Potter, Linda W. Moore, Ahmed Elaileh, Vadim Sherman, R. Mark Ghobrial – 16 August 2022 – Pretransplantation bariatric surgery in patients with high Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score is fraught with risks. Bariatric surgery after liver transplantation (LT) may be complicated by surgical adhesions but could have advantages if performed at the time of transplantation. We investigated a method of brief‐interval staging combining LT and sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

Development and validation of the Cirrhotic Ascites Severity model—A patient‐reported outcome‐based model to predict 1‐year mortality

Rasmus Hvidbjerg Gantzel, Niels Kristian Aagaard, Hendrik Vilstrup, Hugh Watson, Henning Grønbæk, Peter Jepsen – 15 August 2022 – Ascites formation is a sign of decompensation of cirrhosis and heralds a poor prognosis. The widely used standard binary classification of ascites as diuretic‐responsive or refractory does not cover the spectrum of ascites and has limited prognostic information. We developed the Cirrhotic Ascites Severity (CIRAS) model to predict 1‐year mortality among 465 patients randomized to placebo in the satavaptan trials investigating treatment of cirrhotic ascites.
