Nomogram to Predict the Survival of Chinese Patients with Alcohol-Related Liver Disease. Can J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 2021:4073503. [PMID: 34616695 PMCID: PMC8490064 DOI: 10.1155/2021/4073503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Revised: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Alcohol-related liver disease is an increasing public health burden in China, but there is a lack of models to predict its prognosis. This study established a nomogram for predicting the survival of Chinese patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). METHODS Hospitalized alcohol-related liver disease patients were retrospectively enrolled from 2015 to 2018 and followed up for 24 months to evaluate survival profiles. A total of 379 patients were divided into a training cohort (n = 265) and validation cohort (n = 114). Cox proportional hazard survival analysis identified survival factors of the patients in the training cohort. A nomogram was built and internally validated. RESULTS The 3-month, 6-month, 12-month, and 24-month survival rates for the training cohort were 82.6%, 81.1%, 74.3%, and 64.5%, respectively. The Cox analysis showed relapse (P=0.001), cirrhosis (P=0.044), liver cancer (P < 0.001), and a model for end-stage liver diseases score of ≥21 (P=0.041) as independent prognostic factors. A nomogram was built, which predicted the survival of patients in the training cohort with a concordance index of 0.749 and in the internal validation cohort with a concordance index of 0.756. CONCLUSION The long-term survival of Chinese alcohol-related liver disease patients was poor with a 24-month survival rate of 64.5%. Relapse, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and a model for end-stage liver disease score of ≥21 were independent risk factors for those patients. A nomogram was developed and internally validated for predicting the probability of their survival at different time points.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The clinical course of chronic pancreatitis is unpredictable. There is no model to assess disease severity or progression or predict patient outcomes. METHODS We performed a prospective study of 91 patients with chronic pancreatitis; data were collected from patients seen at academic centers in Europe from January 2011 through April 2014. We analyzed correlations between clinical, laboratory, and imaging data with number of hospital readmissions and in-hospital days over the next 12 months; the parameters with the highest degree of correlation were used to develop a 3-stage chronic pancreatitis prognosis score (COPPS). The predictive strength was validated in 129 independent subjects identified from 2 prospective databases. RESULTS The mean number of hospital admissions was 1.9 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.39-2.44) and 15.2 for hospital days (95% CI, 10.76-19.71) for the development cohort and 10.9 for the validation cohort (95% CI, 7.54-14.30) (P = .08). Based on bivariate correlations, pain (numeric rating scale), level of glycated hemoglobin A1c, level of C-reactive protein, body mass index, and platelet count were used to develop the COPPS system. The patients' median COPPS was 8.9 points (range, 5-14). The system accurately discriminated stages of disease severity (low to high): A (5-6 points), B (7-9), and C (10-15). In Pearson correlation analysis of the development cohort, the COPPS correlated with hospital admissions (0.39; P < .01) and number of hospital days (0.33; P < .01). The correlation was validated in the validation set (Pearson correlation values of 0.36 and 0.44; P < .01). COPPS did not correlate with results from the Cambridge classification system. CONCLUSIONS We developed and validated an easy to use dynamic multivariate scoring system, similar to the Child-Pugh-Score for liver cirrhosis. The COPPS allows objective monitoring of patients with chronic pancreatitis, determining risk for readmission to hospital and potential length of hospital stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver transplantation is indicated at the end stage of chronic liver failure, and severity of disease will determine the precocity of this happening. At this stage, the presence of chronic dyspnea is one of several manifestations of progression of the disease, which leads the patient to inactivity. A rehabilitation program can positively influence the evolution of liver transplant recipients. The objective of this study was to establish an association between the perception of dyspnea and the severity of liver disease in patients at a single center of a Brazilian liver pre-transplantation clinic. METHODS Measurements were performed at a liver pre-transplantation clinic. The severity of liver disease was assessed with the use of the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, and dyspnea was assessed with the use of a modified Medical Research Council scale of dyspnea (mMRC). RESULTS Men had a higher prevalence of viral hepatitis. Dyspnea was reported only during intense exercise. Duration of disease and MELD score showed medians of 49 months and 20, respectively. CONCLUSIONS We found no correlation between mMRC and the MELD score. In addition, no correlation was found between duration of disease and MELD score or mMRC.

Abstract
Child-Pugh and MELD scores have been widely used for the assessment of prognosis in liver cirrhosis. A systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the discriminative ability of Child-Pugh versus MELD score to assess the prognosis of cirrhotic patients.PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched. The statistical results were summarized from every individual study. The summary areas under receiver operating characteristic curves, sensitivities, specificities, positive and negative likelihood ratios, and diagnostic odds ratios were also calculated.Of the 1095 papers initially identified, 119 were eligible for the systematic review. Study population was heterogeneous among studies. They included 269 comparisons, of which 44 favored MELD score, 16 favored Child-Pugh score, 99 did not find any significant difference between them, and 110 did not report the statistical significance. Forty-two papers were further included in the meta-analysis. In patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure, Child-Pugh score had a higher sensitivity and a lower specificity than MELD score. In patients admitted to ICU, MELD score had a smaller negative likelihood ratio and a higher sensitivity than Child-Pugh score. In patients undergoing surgery, Child-Pugh score had a higher specificity than MELD score. In other subgroup analyses, Child-Pugh and MELD scores had statistically similar discriminative abilities or could not be compared due to the presence of significant diagnostic threshold effects.Although Child-Pugh and MELD scores had similar prognostic values in most of cases, their benefits might be heterogeneous in some specific conditions. The indications for Child-Pugh and MELD scores should be further identified.
