conditions, such as heart failure10,11and frailty.12Thus, we sought to develop and externally validate a claims-based tool for identifying MELD score in patients with cirrhosis, using specific ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes together with important clinical features that differ according to MELD severity....

Individual comorbid conditions were identified using ICD-10 codes, and overall burden of comorbidity attributed using a cancer-specific measure of comorbidity (C3 Index). Results: We observed that the presence of patient comorbidity (a) increases the odds of being diagnosed with distant metastases, ...

with common etiologies such as diabetes, ath- erosclerosis and hypertension, a better cardiac survival might lead to more patients surviving to renal failure; on the other hand, the prophylactic treatments that reduce the incidence of heart disease might also reduce the inci- dence of renal diseas...
1 There is an association between liver fibrosis and incident heart failure (HF).2 The mechanisms for this association, currently unclear, may be of particular importance for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or hepatitis C, both of which are chronic infections with ...
However, the value of 3-dimensional (3D) STE–derived strain parameters in predicting RV MF has not been investigated in patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). Objectives This study aimed to determine which RV strain parameter assessed by 2D-STE and 3D-STE was the most reliable ...
