Finally, physically frail older adults with low albumin serum levels (albumin < 4.3 g/dL) and with advanced liver fibrosis (F3-F4 NFS) compared to those with lower liver fibrosis score (F0-F2 NFS) were more likely to have a higher risk of overall dementia in a long term-period (HR: ...
Our immunofluorescence surveys identified tenascin-C as one of the most highly upregulated matricellular proteins in SSc skin biopsies, and its levels showed significant correlation with the skin score. Levels of tenascin-C mRNA were also elevated and correlated with both TLR4 and IL-6 expression in...
A novel noninvasive score including LSM by VCTE™ and routine clinical parameters improves the identification of advanced fibrosis among patients with MASLD and may reduce the necessity of liver biopsy in this patient population. In addition, external validation on primary and secondary care centers...
The following non-invasive tests (APRI, APindex, FIB-4, AAR) were calculated and they were compared with the fibrosis score.Results: It was statistically significant between an increase in FIB-4 score and an increase in the degree of fibrosis (P=0.03). FIB-4 values ≥ 3.25 and it was ...
Fibrosis is characterized by the excessive extracellular matrix deposition due to dysregulated wound and connective tissue repair response. Multiple organs can develop fibrosis, including the liver, kidney, heart, and lung. Fibrosis such as liver cirrhos
This study evaluated the association of the cystic duct fibrosis score (range, 0鈥 3) with surgical difficulty in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: ... H Moon,J Jo,Y Choi,... - 《Kosin Medical Journal》 被引量: 0发表: 2022年 Postoperative Outcomes and Quality of Life in Patients With...
A significant correlation was found between FibroScan score and FIB-4 (r = 0.572), APRI (r = 0.667), and AST/ALT (r = 0.251) (P < 0.001). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of APRI at the 0.702 cut-off for ...
Conclusions High noninvasive fibrosis score is associated with an increased risk of prevalent CKD; the FIB-4 is the better predictor. With a cut-off ... HW Xu,YC Hsu,CH Chang,... - 《Hepatology International》 被引量: 6发表: 2016年 Diagnostic value of the APRI index for liver fibrosis...
Lastly, unfortunately we do not have all data required for NAFLD fibrosis score calculation, which is useful for identifying patients at high risk of systemic complications of NAFLD. Conclusion Subjects with NAFLD and advanced fibrosis indices, especially FIB 4 scores, have an increased AF risk. ...
