| 1 | Phase angle obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis independently predicts mortality in patients with cirrhosis显示文摘AIM To evaluate the prognostic value of the phase angle(PA)obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) for mortality prediction in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS In total, 134 male cirrhotic patients prospectively completed clinical evaluations and nutritional assessment by BIA to obtain PAs during a 36-mo follow-up period. Mortality risk was analyzed by applying the PA cutoff point recently proposed as a malnutrition marker(PA ≤ 4.9°) in Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression models. RESULTS The patients were divided into two groups according to the PA cutoff value(PA > 4.9°, n = 73; PA ≤ 4.9°, n = 61). Weight, height, and body mass index were similar in both groups, but patients with PAs > 4.9° were younger and had higher mid-arm muscle circumference, albumin, and handgrip-strength values and lower severe ascites and encephalopathy incidences, interleukin(IL)-6/IL-10 ratios and C-reactive protein levels than did patients with PAs ≤ 4.9°(P ≤ 0.05). Forty-eight(35.80%) patients died due to cirrhosis, with a median of 18 mo(interquartile range, 3.3-25.6 mo) follow-up until death. Thirty-one(64.60%) of these patients were from the PA ≤ 4.9° group. PA ≤ 4.9° significantly and independently affected the mortality model adjusted for Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score and age(hazard ratio = 2.05, 95%CI: 1.11-3.77, P = 0.021). In addition, Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with PAs ≤ 4.9° were significantly more likely to die. CONCLUSION In male patients with cirrhosis, the PA ≤ 4.9° cutoff was associated independently with mortality and identified patients with worse metabolic, nutritional, and disease progression profiles. The PA may be a useful and reliable bedside tool to evaluate prognosis in cirrhosis. | Giliane Belarmino Maria Cristina Gonzalez Raquel S Torrinhas Priscila Sala Wellington Andraus Luiz Augusto Carneiro D'Albuquerque Rosa Maria R Pereira Valéria F Caparbo Graziela R Ravacci Lucas Damiani Steven B Heymsfield Dan L Waitzberg | 2017 | World Journal of Hepatology2017,9,7: | 11 |

| 7 | Real-world treatment patterns and disease control over one year in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in Brazil显示文摘BACKGROUND Crohn’s disease(CD)and ulcerative colitis(UC)are inflammatory bowel diseases(IBDs)with a remission-relapsing presentation and symptomatic exacerbations that have detrimental impacts on patient quality of life and are associated with a high cost burden,especially in patients with moderate-to-severe disease.The Real-world Data of Moderate-to-Severe Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Brazil(RISE BR)study was a noninterventional study designed to evaluate disease control,treatment patterns,disease burden and health-related quality of life in patients with moderate-to-severe active IBD.We report findings from the prospective follow-up phase of the RISE BR study in patients with active UC or CD.AIM To describe the 12-mo disease evolution and treatment patterns among patients with active moderate-to-severe IBD in Brazil.METHODS This was a prospective,noninterventional study of adult patients with active Crohn’s disease(CD:Harvey-Bradshaw Index≥8,CD Activity Index≥220),inadequate CD control(i.e.,calprotectin>200μg/g or colonoscopy previous results),or active ulcerative colitis(UC:Partial Mayo score≥5).Enrollment occurred in 14 centers from October 2016 to February 2017.The proportion of active IBD patients after 9-12 mo of follow-up,Kaplan-Meier estimates of the time to mild or no activity and a summary of treatment initiation,discontinuation and dose changes were examined.RESULTS The study included 118 CD and 36 UC patients,with mean±SD ages of 43.3±12.6 and 44.9±16.5 years,respectively.The most frequent drug classes at index were biologics for CD(62.7%)and 5-aminosalicylate derivates for UC patients(91.7%).During follow-up,65.3%of CD and 86.1%of UC patients initiated a new treatment at least once.Discontinuations/dose changes occurred in 68.1%of CD patients[median 2.0(IQR:2-5)]and 94.3%of UC patients[median 4.0(IQR:3-7)].On average,CD and UC patients had 4.4±2.6 and 5.0±3.3 outpatient visits,respectively.The median time to first mild or no activity was 319(IQR:239-358)d for CD and 320(IQR:288-358)d for UC patients.At 9-12 mo,22.0%of CD and 20.0%of UC patients had active disease.CONCLUSION Although a marked proportion of active IBD patients achieved disease control within one year,the considerable time to achieve this outcome represents an unmet medical need of the current standard of care in a Brazilian real-world setting. | Ligia Yukie Sassaki Sender J Miszputen Roberto Luiz Kaiser Junior Wilson R Catapani Mauro Bafutto António S Scotton Cyrla Zaltman Julio Pinheiro Baima Hagata S Ramos Mikaell Alexandre Gouvea Faria Carolina D Gonçalves Isabella Miranda Guimaraes Cristina Flores Heda M B S Amarante Rodrigo Bremer Nones JoséMiguel Luz Parente Murilo Moura Lima Júlio Maria Chebli Maria de Lourdes Abreu Ferrari Julia F Campos Maria G P Sanna Odery Ramos Rogério Serafim Parra Jose J R da Rocha Omar Feres Marley R Feitosa Rosana Fusaro Caratin Juliana Tosta Senra Genoile Oliveira Santana | 2021 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2021,27,23: | 0 |
