Ellen Mitchell, Kathleen M. Loomes, Robert H. Squires, David Goldberg – 5 March 2018 – Recent data have suggested that pediatric patients wait‐listed for a liver transplantation frequently have liver offers declined. However, factors associated with liver offer decisions and center‐level variability in practice patterns have not been explored.

Paul Calès, Jérôme Boursier, Frédéric Oberti, Valérie Moal, Isabelle Fouchard Hubert, Sandrine Bertrais, Gilles Hunault, Marie Christine Rousselet, multicentric groups (SNIFF, ANRS HC 23) – 5 March 2018 – Fibrosis blood tests are usually developed using significant fibrosis, which is a unique diagnostic target; however, these tests are employed for other diagnostic targets, such as cirrhosis. We aimed to improve fibrosis staging accuracy by simultaneously targeting biomarkers for several diagnostic targets.

Salman Khan, Timothy Sullivan, Mohsin Ali, Dallas Dunn, Gopi Patel, Shirish Huprikar – 3 March 2018 – Liver transplantation recipients (LTRs) who are seropositive for cytomegalovirus (CMV) (recipient seropositive [R+]) are at intermediate risk for CMV disease. A preventative strategy following transplant is considered standard of care. Current guidelines recommend high‐dose valganciclovir (VGCV; 900 mg/day adjusted for renal function) for prophylaxis given limited data on the efficacy and safety of low‐dose VGCV (450 mg/day adjusted for renal function).

Lukic, Vladislav Volarevic – 3 March 2018 – One of the therapeutic options for the treatment of fulminant hepatitis is repopulation of intrahepatic regulatory cells because their pool is significantly reduced during acute liver failure.

Taylor‐Robinson, Cristina Legido‐Quigley, Min Kim, Jin Xu, Roger Williams, Masoumeh Sikaroodi, William M. Pandak, Patrick M. Gillevet – 3 March 2018 – Liver transplantation (LT) improves daily function and ameliorates gut microbial composition. However, the effect of LT on microbial functionality, which can be related to overall patient benefit, is unclear and could affect the post‐LT course.
