Comparing the accuracy of prediction models to detect clinically relevant post-hepatectomy liver failure early after major hepatectomy Open
Background Arterial lactate measurements were recently suggested as an early predictor of clinically relevant post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). This needed to be evaluated in the subgroup of major hepatectomies only. Method This obser…

An APRI+ALBI-Based Multivariable Model as a Preoperative Predictor for Posthepatectomy Liver Failure Open
Objective and Background: Clinically significant posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF B+C) remains the main cause of mortality after major hepatic resection. This study aimed to establish an aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio comb…

Molecular adsorbent recirculating system treatment in patients with post-hepatectomy liver failure: Long-term results of a pilot study Open
Background: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is the leading cause of postoperative mortality following major liver resection. Between December 2012 and May 2015, 10 consecutive patients with PHLF (according to the Balzan criteria) fol…

Impact of post-hepatectomy liver failure on morbidity and short- and long-term survival after major hepatectomy Open
Background Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is one of the most serious postoperative complications after hepatectomy. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS) definition …

Utilization and Efficacy of Palliative Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastroesophageal Carcinoma Open
Capecitabine may be preferably used over infused 5-FU and doublet chemotherapy over triplet chemotherapy in the first-line palliative setting of advanced gastroesophageal cancer.

The 3-60 criteria challenge established predictors of postoperative mortality and enable timely therapeutic intervention after liver resection Open
The 3-60 criteria on POD1 predict postoperative LD and mortality early after liver resection with a comparable or better accuracy than established criteria, allowing for immediate identification of high-risk patients.
