Rifaximin-α use is associated with improved muscle mass in patients with cirrhosis Open
BACKGROUND Sarcopaenia is associated with a two-fold higher mortality rate in patients with cirrhosis independent of liver disease severity. Few treatments for cirrhosis related sarcopaenia exist beyond optimal nutritional management. AIM …

Differences in Direct Fick and Thermodilution Measurements of Cardiac Output: Impact on Pulmonary Hypertension Classification Open
Direct Fick (DF) and bolus thermodilution (TD) are endorsed by pulmonary hypertension (PH) guidelines to measure cardiac output. In contemporary practice, agreement between methods is unknown, as are the diagnostic consequences of disagree…

Agreement between direct Fick and bolus thermodilution measurements of cardiac output during right heart catheterisation and the impact on haemodynamic classifications Open
Background/Introduction When measuring cardiac output (CO) during right heart catheterisation (RHC), both direct Fick (DF) and bolus thermodilution (TD) methods are endorsed by pulmonary hypertension (PH) guidelines (1). Agreement between …

Clinical assessment for pulmonary hypertension in interstitial lung disease Open
Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an important complication of interstitial lung disease (ILD), as its development confers a poor prognosis. There are no specific recommendations for methods of assessment for PH in ILD populations.…

Identifying patterns in unplanned hospital admissions during the <span>COVID</span>‐19 pandemic: a single‐centre retrospective study Open
Background Countries with a high prevalence of COVID‐19 have identified a reduction in crude hospital admission rates for non‐COVID‐19 conditions during the pandemic. There remains a paucity of such data from lower prevalence countries, in…

Risk factors for readmission following inpatient management of <span>COVID</span>‐19 in a low‐prevalence setting Open
There are minimal data on post-COVID-19 readmissions in relatively low-prevalence countries such as Australia. Data prior to COVID-19 demonstrate that hospitalised patients have up to a 20% chance of a 30-day unplanned readmission, represe…

Association of Pulmonary Function With Cognitive Decline in Older Adults: A Nationwide Longitudinal Study in China Open
This study aimed to examine whether pulmonary function and cognition are independently associated at multiple time points. We included 8264 participants (49.9% women) aged 50–94 years at baseline from the China Health and Retirement Longit…
