Hirschfield, Jessica Dyson, David Jones, Stefan G. Hubscher, Paul Klenerman, David H. Adams, Ye H. Oo – 26 February 2018 – Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an immune‐mediated liver disease currently treated by immunosuppressive medications with significant side effects. Thus, novel mechanistic treatments are greatly needed.

Evelyn T. Pan, Dor Yoeli, N. Thao N. Galvan, Michael L. Kueht, Ronald T. Cotton, Christine A. O'Mahony, John A. Goss, Abbas Rana – 24 February 2018 – Risk analysis of cold ischemia time (CIT) in liver transplantation has largely focused on patient and graft survival. Posttransplant length of stay is a sensitive marker of morbidity and cost. We hypothesize that CIT is a risk factor for posttransplant prolonged length of stay (PLOS) and aim to conduct an hour‐by‐hour analysis of CIT and PLOS.
Annsa C. Huang, Neil Mehta, Jennifer L. Dodge, Francis Y. Yao, Norah A. Terrault – 24 February 2018 – Whether direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after tumor‐directed therapy is controversial. We sought to determine the impact of DAA therapy on HCC recurrence after local‐regional therapy (LRT) and waitlist dropout among liver transplant (LT) candidates with HCC. We performed a retrospective cohort study of 149 LT candidates with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HCC at a single center from 2014 through 2016.

Flores‐García, Jennifer Lehmann, Aldo Torre, Ricardo Ulises Macías‐Rodríguez, Jonel Trebicka – 24 February 2018 – Acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) develops in acute decompensation (AD) of cirrhosis and shows high mortality. In critically ill patients, early diagnosis of ACLF could be important for therapeutic decisions (eg, renal replacement, artificial liver support, liver transplantation).
