Chronic pancreatitis: a case ascertainment study (2025)
Journal Article
Quammie, S., Rashid, A., Munya, R., Nicholson, E. S., Clarke, C., Venkatachalapathy, S. V., Crooks, C. J., Aithal, G. P., & Aravinthan, A. D. (2025). Chronic pancreatitis: a case ascertainment study. Frontline Gastroenterology, https://doi.org/10.1136/flgastro-2024-102786

Background Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a debilitating condition, characterised by chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the pancreas. The population frequency of CP is poorly understood. Therefore, we used a broad pragmatic approach to estimate the f... Read More about Chronic pancreatitis: a case ascertainment study.

The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 9(11), 997-1009. https://doi.org/10.1016/s2468-1253%2824%2900224-3

Background: Infections have a poor prognosis in inpatients with cirrhosis. We aimed to determine regional variations in infections and their association with clinical outcomes in a global cohort of inpatients with cirrhosis. Methods: In this prospect...

Left triangular ligament lesions are likely hepatic in origin: a systematic review (2023)
Journal Article
Agarwal, S., Munyal, R., Aravinthan, A. D., & Clarke, C. G. D. (2023). Left triangular ligament lesions are likely hepatic in origin: a systematic review. British Journal of Radiology, 96(1152), Article 20230231. https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20230231

Objectives: The left lobe of liver is connected to the left hemi-diaphragm by the left triangular ligament (LTL) which crosses the left upper quadrant (LUQ) of the abdomen. LTL lesions are rare and can cause diagnostic confusion. We encountered a hep... Read More about Left triangular ligament lesions are likely hepatic in origin: a systematic review.

The long-term (>5 year) outcomes following liver transplantation (LT) have not been extensively reported. The aim was to evaluate outcomes of LT recipients who have survived the first 5 years. A
multicentre retrospective analysis of prospectively... Read More about Long-term outcomes (beyond 5 years) of liver transplant recipients - a transatlantic multicentre study.

Background & Aim:

HCC has significantly improved outcomes when detected early. Guidelines recommend biannual surveillance with ultrasound (US) and/or AFP in at-risk individuals. This survey aimed to describe HCC surveillance adherence/practices a... Read More about Outcomes of National Survey of the Practice of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surveillance.

Next-generation sequencing of pancreatic cyst wall specimens obtained using Moray micro-forceps for improving diagnostic accuracy (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Astbury, S., Baskar, A., Grove, J. I., Kaye, P., Aravinthan, A. D., James, M. W., Clarke, C., Aithal, G. P., & Venkatachalapathy, S. V. Next-generation sequencing of pancreatic cyst wall specimens obtained using Moray micro-forceps for improving diagnostic accuracy

Background and study aims Pancreatic cysts are common incidental findings, with an estimated prevalence of 13-15% in imaging done for other reasons. It is difficult to identify cysts with malignant potential. Diagnosis often relies on collection of c...
