Abstract
OBJECTIVE To obtain annual incidence trends, understand clinicopathological characteristics, and forecast the future burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) in Indonesia. DESIGN 11-year retrospective cross-sectional study. SETTING A national referral hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia. PARTICIPANTS Data from 1584 eligible cases were recorded for trends and forecasting analyses; 433 samples were analysed to determine clinicopathological differences between young (<50 years) and old (≥50 years) patients. METHODS Trend analyses were done using Joinpoint software, expressed in annual percentage change (APC), and a regression analysis was executed to generate a forecasting model. Patients' characteristics were compared using χ2 or non-parametric tests. MAIN OUTCOMES Analysis of trends, forecasting model, and clinicopathological features between the age groups. RESULTS A significant increase in APC was observed among old patients (+2.38%) for CRC cases. Colon cancer increased remarkably (+9.24%) among young patients; rectal cancer trends were either stable or declining. The trend for right-sided CRC increased in the general population (+6.52%) and old patients (+6.57%), while the trend for left-sided CRC was stable. These cases are expected to be a significant health burden within the next 10 years. Patients had a mean age of 53.17±13.94, 38.1% were young, and the sex ratio was 1.21. Prominent characteristics were left-sided CRC, tumour size ≥5 cm, exophytic growth, adenocarcinoma, histologically low grade, pT3, pN0, inadequately dissected lymph nodes (LNs), LN ratio <0.05, no distant metastasis, early-stage cancer, no lymphovascular invasion, and no perineural invasion (PNI). Distinct features between young and old patients were found in the histological subtype, number of dissected LN, and PNI of the tumour. CONCLUSIONS Epidemiological trends and forecasting analyses of CRC cases in Indonesian patients showed an enormous increase in colon cancer in young patients, a particularly concerning trend. Additionally, young patients exhibited particular clinicopathological characteristics that contributed to disease severity.

Predicting death or recurrence of portal hypertension symptoms after TIPS procedures. Eur Radiol 2022; 32:3346-3357. [PMID: 35015124 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-021-08437-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate prediction of portal hypertension recurrence after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement will improve clinical decision-making. PURPOSE To evaluate if perioperative variables could predict disease-free survival (DFS) in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension (PHT) treated with TIPS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recruited 206 cirrhotic patients with PHT treated with TIPS, randomly assigned to training (n = 138) and validation (n = 68) sets. We recorded 7 epidemiological, 4 clinical, and 9 radiological variables. TIPS-distal end positioning (TIPS-DEP) measured the distance between the distal end of the stent and the hepatocaval junction on contrast-enhanced CT scans. In the training set, the signature was defined as the random forest for survival algorithm achieving the lowest error rate for the prediction of DFS which was landmarked 4 weeks after the TIPS procedure. In the training set, a simple to use scoring system was derived from variables selected by the signature. The primary endpoint was to assess if TIPS-DEP was associated with DFS. The secondary endpoint was to validate the scoring system in the validation set. RESULTS Overall, patients with TIPS-DEP ≥ 6 mm (n = 49) had a median DFS of 24.5 months vs. 72.8 months otherwise (n = 157, p = 0.004). In the training set, the scoring system was calculated by adding age ≥ 60 years old, Child-Pugh B or C, and TIPS-DEP ≥ 6 mm (1 point each) since the signature showed high DFS probability at 6.5 months post-landmark in patients that did not meet these criteria: 86%, 80%, and 78%, respectively. The hazard ratio [95 CI] between patients determined to be low-risk (< 2 points) and high-risk (≥ 2 points) was 2.30 [1.35-3.93] (p = 0.002) in the training set and 2.01 [0.94-4.32] (p = 0.072) in the validation set. CONCLUSION TIPS-DEP is an actionable radiological biomarker which can be combined with age and Child-Pugh score to predict death or PHT symptom recurrence after TIPS procedure. KEY POINTS • TIPS-DEP measurement was the third most important but only actionable variable for predicting DFS. • TIPS-DEP < 6 mm was associated with a DFS probability of 78% at 6.5 months post-landmark. • A simple scoring system calculated using age, Child-Pugh score, and TIPS-DEP predicted DFS after TIPS.

[PMID: 34142663 PMCID: PMC8216677 DOI: 10.14309/ctg.0000000000000372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic liver diseases (CLDs) and substance use disorders (SUDs) are increasingly prevalent and often coexist. Contemporary studies describing the characteristics and hospitalization trends of those with comorbid CLD-SUD are lacking. We aimed to characterize a population-based cohort with comorbid CLD-SUD and describe trends in these hospitalizations over time by individual-level characteristics. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the National Inpatient Sample from 2005 through 2017. Diagnosis codes were used to identify adult hospitalizations with CLD, SUD, or both. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to make comparisons between diagnosis categories. Unadjusted and age-adjusted trends in these hospitalizations were described over time. RESULTS Of 401,867,749 adult hospital discharges, 3.2% had CLD-only and 1.7% had comorbid CLD-SUD. Compared with CLD-only, comorbid CLD-SUD hospitalizations resulted in higher inpatient mortality (3.1% vs 2.4%, P < 0.001) and were associated with younger age, male sex, Native American race, and urban and Western US location. Over time, comorbid hospitalizations grew 34%, and the demographics shifted with larger increases in hospitalization rates seen in younger individuals, women, Native Americans, and those publicly insured. In comorbid hospitalizations, alcoholic SUD and CLD decreased, but drug SUDs and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases are fast-growing contributors. DISCUSSION In this comprehensive analysis of US hospitalizations, comorbid CLD-SUD hospitalizations are increasing over time and lead to higher inpatient mortality than CLD alone. We further characterize the changing demographics of these hospitalizations, providing a contemporary yet inclusive look at comorbid CLD-SUD hospitalizations. These data can guide interventions needed to improve the poor outcomes suffered by this growing population.

J Racial Ethn Health Disparities 2021; 9:722-730. [PMID: 33977509 DOI: 10.1007/s40615-021-01007-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Historically, Blacks and Hispanics have had lower opioid-involved overdose death rates in Connecticut (CT). We examined if a shift has taken place where rates of Black fatal overdoses have now surpassed Whites in the state. METHODS Drug overdose fatality rates were calculated by number of deaths per year per 100,000 population from 2012 to 2019 in Connecticut. Measures were by race (White, Hispanic, Black, and Asian or Pacific Islander), age groups, and types of drugs, including fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and other opioids. Poisson regression was used to test the interactions (race × age); joinpoint regression analysis was used to evaluate trend lines of fatality rate by racial/ethnic group within each age group with a significance level of p < 0.05. RESULTS Drug overdose fatality rates in CT from 2012 to 2019 showed a significant increase for all races combined, estimated 3.6 deaths per 100,000 population per year. For Whites, overdose deaths were 4.6 per year from 2012 to 2017 with no change from 2017 to 2019. The overdose fatality rate for Hispanics was 3.0 and for Asian or Pacific Islanders 0.6 per year from 2012 to 2019. For Blacks, the death rates were statistically flat between 2012 and 2014; however, from 2015 to 2019, this group saw the largest average increase of 6.0 overdose deaths per 100,000 population each year. By 2019, the overdose fatality rate was higher in Blacks than in Whites, (39 vs. 38 per 100,000, respectively). Further, Blacks ages 50 years and over reported the highest overdose fatality rates among all race/age groups, an increase of 8.5 deaths per 100,000 population since 2014. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Connecticut is a microcosm of the opioid overdose trend in the New England region of our country. The majority of overdose deaths in CT involved illicit drugs, fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine, rather than prescription drugs. Blacks 50-years-old and over showed the fastest growing overdose death rates. Opioid deaths are now shifting to the Black community, creating an urgent public health crisis.

[PMID: 32452070 DOI: 10.1111/dar.13089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2020] [Revised: 04/17/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS The extent to which alcohol consumption in Canada was affected by alcohol prohibition in the early 20th century remains unclear. Since there is a dearth of data on consumption during this time, we estimated the effect of alcohol prohibition on alcohol consumption, as measured by changes in liver cirrhosis mortality rates in Canada. DESIGN AND METHODS Annual liver cirrhosis mortality data were obtained for 1901 to 1956 for the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Saskatchewan. Changes in death rates were assessed, by province, using autoregressive integrated moving average models. Results were pooled across provinces using a fixed effects meta-analysis. A secondary fixed effects meta-analysis was performed which only included provinces with data for before, during and after prohibition, and excluded provinces with data only beginning during prohibition. RESULTS Prohibition was associated with a statistically significant decrease in liver cirrhosis death rates only in Nova Scotia (P = 0.01). Pooling of provincial results indicated that prohibition resulted in 0.39 (95% confidence interval 0.06, 0.72; P = 0.02) fewer liver cirrhosis deaths per 100 000 people. In the restricted meta-analysis, prohibition resulted in 0.65 (95% confidence interval 0.18, 1.12; P < 0.01) fewer liver cirrhosis deaths per 100 000 people. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Although alcohol prohibition in Canada did not eliminate alcohol consumption, our findings suggest that prohibition was associated with reduced consumption, as evidenced by a reduction in liver cirrhosis mortality rates. Further, it's important to reflect on alcohol's history in Canada and use those policy lessons to guide the construction of effective cannabis legislation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To outline which infectious diseases in the pre-covid-19 era persist in children and adolescents in China and to describe recent trends and variations by age, sex, season, and province. DESIGN National surveillance studies, 2008-17. SETTING 31 provinces in mainland China. PARTICIPANTS 4 959 790 Chinese students aged 6 to 22 years with a diagnosis of any of 44 notifiable infectious diseases. The diseases were categorised into seven groups: quarantinable; vaccine preventable; gastrointestinal and enteroviral; vectorborne; zoonotic; bacterial; and sexually transmitted and bloodborne. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Diagnosis of, and deaths from, 44 notifiable infectious diseases. RESULTS From 2008 to 2017, 44 notifiable infectious diseases were diagnosed in 4 959 790 participants (3 045 905 males, 1 913 885 females) and there were 2532 deaths (1663 males, 869 females). The leading causes of death among infectious diseases shifted from rabies and tuberculosis to HIV/AIDS, particularly in males. Mortality from infectious diseases decreased steadily from 0.21 per 100 000 population in 2008 to 0.07 per 100 000 in 2017. Quarantinable conditions with high mortality have effectively disappeared. The incidence of notifiable infectious diseases in children and adolescents decreased from 280 per 100 000 in 2008 to 162 per 100 000 in 2015, but rose again to 242 per 100 000 in 2017, largely related to mumps and seasonal influenza. Excluding mumps and influenza, the incidence of vaccine preventable diseases fell from 96 per 100 000 in 2008 to 7 per 100 000 in 2017. The incidence of gastrointestinal and enterovirus diseases remained constant, but typhoid, paratyphoid, and dysentery continued to decline. Vectorborne diseases all declined, with a particularly noticeable reduction in malaria. Zoonotic infections remained at low incidence, but there were still unpredictable outbreaks, such as pandemic A/H1N1 2009 influenza. Tuberculosis remained the most common bacterial infection, although cases of scarlet fever doubled between 2008 and 2017. Sexually transmitted diseases and bloodborne infections increased significantly, particularly from 2011 to 2017, among which HIV/AIDS increased fivefold, particularly in males. Difference was noticeable between regions, with children and adolescents in western China continuing to carry a disproportionate burden from infectious diseases. CONCLUSIONS China's success in infectious disease control in the pre-covid-19 era was notable, with deaths due to infectious diseases in children and adolescents aged 6-22 years becoming rare. Many challenges remain around reducing regional inequalities, scaling-up of vaccination, prevention of further escalation of HIV/AIDS, renewed efforts for persisting diseases, and undertaking early and effective response to highly transmissible seasonal and unpredictable diseases such as that caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Complications of cirrhosis are one the major causes of hospital admission associated with high morbimortality rates and social and economic charges. The aims of this study were to evaluate hospital readmission and mortality rates and predictive factors for hospital readmission and mortality. METHODS Patients with decompensated cirrhosis admitted to our institution between 2008-2014 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Included 427 admissions from 177 patients with cirrhosis with mean age of 59.0 ± 12.3 years. The major cause was alcoholic-related liver disease and the median duration of admission was 9.0 days (IQR 6.0-14.0). During the follow-up period,there were 250 readmissions from 95 patients, with a median of 58 (IQR27-134) days for readmission, representing 58.5% of the total number of admissions.The 180-day mortality rate was 35.0%. In the multivariate analysis, ascites, smoking and MELD Na were associated with 180-day mortality. Creatinine, albumin, esophageal variceal bleeding, previous variceal banding, lactulose, rifaximin and proton pump inhibitors use were independently associated with need of readmission. Based on regression analysis, two models were calculated to predict 180-day mortality (AUROC 0.74 (0.682-0.794)) and need for readmission(AUROC 0.821 (0.781-0.861)), p < 0.001. CONCLUSION The readmission rate and mortality of cirrhotic patients are still very high and it is a priority to determine preventable risk factors to improve patient outcome. Two models were created to predict 180-day mortality(AUROC 0.74) and need for readmission(AUROC 0.821), that could guide the management of the patients at the time of admission.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Understanding whether the population-level consumption of alcohol and tobacco is associated with cancer mortality is a crucial question for public health policy that has not been answered by previous studies. OBJECTIVE To examine temporal associations of alcohol and tobacco consumption with overall cancer mortality in the Australian population, looking across different sex and age groups. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This population-based cohort study conducted a time series analysis (autoregressive integrated moving average models) using aggregate-level annual time series data from multiple sources. Data on alcohol consumption and tobacco consumption per capita between 1935 and 2014 among the Australian population aged 15 years and older were collected from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Cancer Council Victoria. Analysis was conducted from June 1, 2017, to October 30, 2017. EXPOSURES Sex- and age-specific cancer mortality rates from 1968 to 2014 were collected from the Australian Institute Health and Welfare. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Population-level cancer mortality in different sex and age groups in Australia, controlling for the effects of health expenditure. RESULTS Among the Australian total population aged 15 years and older in this study, 50.5% were women. Cancer death rates per 100 000 persons increased from 199 in 1968 to 214 in 1989 and then decreased steadily to 162 in 2014. Taking into account lagged effects, 1-L decreases in alcohol consumption per capita were associated with a decline of 3.9% in overall cancer mortality over a 20-year period, and 1-kg decreases in tobacco consumption per capita were associated with a 16% reduction. Alcohol consumption per capita was significantly associated with overall cancer mortality among men aged 50 to 69 years and women aged 50 years and older. Tobacco consumption per capita was found to be significantly associated with overall cancer mortality only among men aged 50 years and older. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, alcohol consumption per capita was positively associated with overall cancer mortality among older men and women, and tobacco consumption per capita was positively associated with overall cancer mortality among older men over a 20-year period. This study provides evidence that a decrease in population-level drinking and tobacco smoking could lead to a reduction in cancer mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objectives of this study were to survey the frequency of engaging in a health-promoting lifestyle in patients with liver cirrhosis, and examine the mediating effects of a health-promoting lifestyle on relationships of symptoms and psychological distress with the quality of life (QOL). METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted to recruit 148 cirrhotic outpatients from the gastroenterology outpatient department of one medical university hospital. All study participants completed self-administered questionnaires comprising a multidimensional symptoms scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, short-form Chinese health-promoting lifestyle profile, and the Taiwanese version of the Short-Form 36. Hierarchical linear regression and mediation models were used to evaluate the effect of a health-promoting lifestyle on the QOL. RESULTS Results showed these cirrhotic outpatients reported low frequencies of health-promoting behaviors in their daily activities and had poor mental health but superior physical health. The hierarchical linear regression model found that depression, anxiety, and a health-promoting lifestyle were significant determinants of mental health. The mediation analysis further identified that a health-promoting lifestyle acted as a significant mediator which ameliorated the effects of depression and anxiety on the mental health aspect of the QOL. CONCLUSIONS A health-promoting lifestyle can improve the mental health of the QOL. Healthcare professionals can develop effective health-promoting interventions to manage and improve the mental health of cirrhotic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Cirrhosis (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are highly prevalent in Europe, with accompanying high mortality rates and social costs. As epidemiological data on these diseases are scarce, age-standardized death rate (ASDR) can serve as an indirect assessment of their burden. METHODS We analysed the ASDRs for LC and HCC from data reported in the WHO official death registries from 1970 to 2010, and compared ASDRs over the decades. The European Detailed Mortality Database was also used as source of data. RESULTS In 1970, Portugal had the highest reported mortality for LC, followed by France and Italy. However, in 2010, Finland, Austria and Germany were respectively the three highest, while the UK showed the highest increase over those four decades (+284.8%). The annual ASDRs for LC have dropped in Europe from 20.4/105 inhabitants in 1970 to 9.6 in 2010; a 53% decrease. For HCC, Spain, Italy and Denmark were ranked first through third, while in 2010 Italy, France and Luxembourg replaced them. Portugal had the highest increase (+654.7%). In 1980-2010, the ASDR for HCC in Europe increased from 3.4/105 inhabitants to 6.3, up 85.4%. In the majority of nations-except for the UK, Finland and Ireland-there was a decrease in LC mortality and an increase for HCC mortality. CONCLUSIONS The LC mortality rate is decreasing in Europe, yet there is a significant increase in HCC mortality. This phenomenon requires greater attention so we can understand the risk factors and implement preventive measures.
