A Population-Based Cohort Study on Chronic Comorbidity Risk Factors for Adverse Dengue Outcomes
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2021 Sep 27:tpmd210716. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.21-0716. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe global burden of dengue is increasing against a background of rising global prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and an epidemiological shift of dengue toward older age groups. The contribution of NCDs toward risk for adverse clinical and healthcare utilization outcomes was assessed in a national linked-database study. About 51,433 adult dengue cases between 2014 and 2015 were assessed for outpatient and inpatient claims data in Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database for the 30 days after ...

Cervicocerebral atherosclerosis and its hepatic and coronary risk factors in patients with liver cirrhosis
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that LC confers protection against intracranial atherosclerosis, and that thrombocytopenia may be involved in this protection. High CAC score could serve as a potential surrogate for cervicocerebral vascular screening in asymptomatic cirrhotics.PMID:34637612 | DOI:10.3350/cmh.2021.0202

Liver Transplant in Hemoglobin SC Disease and Autoimmune Hepatitis: A Case Report
We report a case of a 50-year-old man with sickle cell disease genotype SC (HbSC) and cirrhosis secondary to autoimmune hepatitis who underwent liver transplant. His postoperative course included upper extremity deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, stroke via a patent foramen ovale after a line removal, and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Fortunately, he is alive with a functioning graft at 10 months after liver transplant. This case highlights the feasibility of liver transplant in sickle cell disease given the support of meticulous multidisciplinary care and the unique aspects of autoimmune hepatitis an...

Multimorbidity patterns and association with mortality in 0.5 million Chinese adults
CONCLUSION: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity and respiratory multimorbidity posed the highest threat on mortality risk and deserved particular attention in Chinese adults.PMID:35191418 | DOI:10.1097/CM9.0000000000001985

Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid-associated severe neutropenia
A 72-year-old man presented with an abnormal blood count and was admitted. His history included hypertension and hyperlipidaemia with an old myocardial infarction and mild stroke; liver cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with hypersplenism and oesophageal varices but no ascites, oedema or bleeding; and benign prostatic hypertrophy. His medications (unchanged for years) included furosemide, spironolactone, bisoprolol, rosuvastatin, alfuzosin and omeprazole. Two weeks prior, he was discharged from our department after left leg cellulitis and Streptococcus pyogenes bacteraemia responsive to parenteral clind...

Prevalence and associated relating factors in patients with hereditary retinal dystrophy: a nationwide population-based study in Taiwan
CONCLUSIONS: 74% of the diagnosed HRD are retinitis pigmentosa. Population-based data suggested an increased incidence of cataract in younger patients, whereas older HRD patients are more susceptible to develop CME. Further work is needed to elucidate the mechanism between these ophthalmological disorders and HRD.PMID:35396285 | DOI:10.1136/bmjopen-2021-054111

Po-685-06 liver cirrhosis is associated with an increase in bleeding and mortality in patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion: insights from a nationwide cohort analysis
Patients with liver cirrhosis are at an increased risk of bleeding secondary to diminished clotting factor synthesis. In patients with both atrial fibrillation (AF) and cirrhosis, there is an additional risk of cardioembolic stroke. Thus, left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is an attractive therapeutic option. There is limited data available that examine the safety and outcomes of LAAO in patients with cirrhosis.
