AIM: To validate diagnostic codes for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic hepatitis B patients. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of patients with chronic HBV seen in the national Veterans Administration (VA). HCC cases were identified by the presence of ICD-9 code 155.0. We ...
physicians could change the diagnosis name associated with a code when the name was inappropriate. That this option was used shows the advantage of being able to change diagnoses.

This worldwide initiative by the WHO is anticipated to propel the hepatitis diagnostic test, which is ultimately projected to boost market growth during the forecast period. The significant factors for the growth of the market include the growing burden of hepatitis, the introduction of molecular ...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks fourth in cancer mortality worldwide, and chronic cirrhosis caused by hepatitis virus (mainly Hepatitis B and C Virus) and metabolic diseases (mainly alcoholic liver disease and diabetes) is the major risk factor for HCC1,2. Although surgery remains an effective...
Tumor-derived circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) provides critical clues for cancer early diagnosis, yet it often suffers from low sensitivity. Here, we present a cancer early diagnosis approach using tumor fractions deciphered from circulating cfDNA methylation signatures. We show that the estimated ...
In patients with sepsis, blood stream infections (BSIs) are a common suspicion. The detection of an infection will be performed on the one hand according to the clinical symptoms of the patient. On the other hand the direct verification of pathogens in t
Examples of such conditions include untreated hypothyroidism, sleep apnea and narcolepsy, iatrogenic conditions such as side effects of medication, some types of malignancies, chronic cases of hepatitis B or C virus infection, a past or current diagnosis of a major depressive disorder with psychotic ...
The present application relates generally to methods for diagnosing hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis using a panel of antibodies targeted against a novel panel of very low abundant hepatic scarring biomarkers. These novel proteins may also serve as biomarkers for hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ...
