Epidemiologic studies of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) have been hindered by the lack of a validated International Classification of Disease (ICD) coding algorithm for use with administrative data. Our objective was to validate coding algorithms for AH using a hospitalization database.The Hospital Discharge...
However, it should not be used in patients with alcoholic hepatitis because it overestimates fibrosis grade. Quality of evidence: C1. Strength of recommendation: strong, in favor of. Agreement reached: 85% in complete agreement; 10% in partial agreement. Noninvasive methods for evaluating liver ...
Patients who met the following criteria were excluded from the study: < 20 years of age (n = 15,317); excessive alcohol consumption (≥ 30 g of alcohol/day) (n = 679,743); diagnosis of liver cirrhosis (K703, K746) or any hepatitis (B15-B19) (n = 989,161)...

This was followed by the findings that CCL20 hepatic RNA expression and serum levels were increased in patients with alcoholic hepatitis and were associated grade of hepatic fibrosis [31]. In that study, hepatic stellate cells were found to be the primary cell type producing CCL20, which was ...
The link between sleep length and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease was meta-analyzedMean sleep duration was not different between patients and healthy controlsThere were no significant differences between groups in subgroup meta-analysis.The long sleep duration was associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver...
After confirming the diagnosis of hospitalized patients using ICD-10 code K76.0, we further excluded patients with biliary cirrhosis (K74.3-K74.5), autoimmune hepatitis (K75.4), toxic liver disease (K71), viral hepatitis (B15-B19), and alcoholic liver disease (K70). Blood Biochemistry ...

Hospitalizations (H) and mortality by alcoholic hepatitis (AH) have increased in Europe and North America. In Chile we do not have published data. To describe the trend in H and mortality of hospitalized patients with AH in Chile. Descriptive analysis of combination of cross-sections and ...
