BACKGROUND: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) contributes significantly to mortality among patients with liver cirrhosis. Early prediction of HE is essential for clinical decision-making, yet remains challenging-particularly in noncancer-related cirrhosis ...
Cirrhosis care is inherently complex, marked by a high risk of acute decompensation and significant morbidity and mortality. Traditional episodic care models provide static snapshots of a patient's condition, limiting the ability to address dynamic c...
BACKGROUND: The transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), a crucial tool for treating complications related to portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis, is often associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Clinically significant portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis can lead to refractory ascites. A TIPS treats clinically significant portal hypertension but may cause overt hepatic encephalopathy (oHE). Our aim was to...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Diagnosis code classification is a common method for cohort identification in cirrhosis research, but it is often inaccurate and augmented by labor-intensive chart review. Natural language processing using large language models (...

INTRODUCTION: Management of hepatic encephalopathy relies on self-titration of lactulose. In this feasibility trial, we assess an artificial intelligence-enabled tool to guide lactulose use through a smartphone application.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to develop prognostic models for predicting 28- and 90-day mortality rates of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) through artificial neural network (ANN) systems.
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) is characterized by diffuse abnormalities in cerebral structure, such as reduced cortical thickness and altered brain parenchymal volume. This study tested the potential of gray matter (GM) volumetry to differenti...
