Masashi Hirooka, Yohei Koizumi, Takaaki Tanaka, Kotarou Sunago, Yoshiko Nakamura, Takao Watanabe, Osamu Yoshida, Yoshio Tokumoto, Masanori Abe, Yoichi Hiasa – 15 March 2021 – Hepatocellular carcinoma has been considered to disseminate through the tumor blood drainage area. To improve curation rates, treatment should cover this area as it may contain satellite lesions. This retrospective study aimed to investigate whether radiofrequency ablation (RFA) completely covering the blood drainage area can improve the overall and disease‐free survival.

Jessica B. Rubin, Jennifer C. Lai, Amy M. Shui, Samuel F. Hohmann, Andrew Auerbach – 14 March 2021 – Pain is common among patients with cirrhosis, yet managing pain in this population is challenging. Opioid analgesics are thought to be particularly high risk in patients with cirrhosis, and their use has been discouraged. We sought to understand patterns of opioid use among inpatients with cirrhosis and the risks of serious opioid‐related adverse events in this population.

Rahima A. Bhanji, Kymberly D. Watt – 12 March 2021 – Physiologic reserve is an important prognostic indicator. Because of its complexity, no single test can measure an individual’s physiologic reserve. Frailty is the phenotypic expression of decreased reserve and portends poor prognosis. Both subjective and objective tools have been used to measure one or more components of physiologic reserve. Most of these tools appear to predict pretransplant mortality, but only some predict posttransplant survival.

Brown – 12 March 2021 – Abstinence in patients with alcohol‐associated liver disease (ALD) reduces mortality. Most predictors of relapse are not quantifiable, preventing objective analysis of relapse risk and targeted intervention to improve clinical outcomes.
