Characterizing the risk interplay between alcohol intake and body mass index on cirrhosis morbidity (2021)
Journal Article
Innes, H., Crooks, C. J., Aspinall, E., Card, T. R., Hamill, V., Dillon, J., …Morling, J. R. (2022). Characterizing the risk interplay between alcohol intake and body mass index on cirrhosis morbidity. Hepatology, 75(2), 369-378. https://doi.org/10.1002/hep.32123

Background and Aims: It is thought that alcohol intake and body mass index (BMI) interact supra-additively to modulate the risk of cirrhosis, but evidence for this phenomenon is limited. We investigated the interrelationship between alcohol and BMI o... Read More about Characterizing the risk interplay between alcohol intake and body mass index on cirrhosis morbidity.

A validation study of the identification of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in England using population-based health data (2021)
Journal Article
Bishton, M. J., Stilwell, P., Card, T. R., Lanyon, P., Ban, L., Elliss-Brookes, L., …Bythell, M. (2021). A validation study of the identification of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in England using population-based health data. British Journal of Haematology, 194(6), 1039-1044. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjh.17768

We assessed the validity of coded healthcare data to identify cases of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) identified 127 cases within five hospital Trusts 2013–2018 using ICD-10 codes D76.1, D76.2 and D76.3....

Socioeconomic inequalities in the incidence of alcohol-related liver disease: A nationwide Danish study (2021)
Journal Article

Background: There is socio-economic inequality in total alcohol-related harm, but knowledge of inequality in the incidence of specific alcohol-related diseases would be beneficial for prevention. Registry-based studies with nationwide coverage may re... Read More about Socioeconomic inequalities in the incidence of alcohol-related liver disease: A nationwide Danish study.

Risk and outcome of venous and arterial thrombosis in patients with cirrhosis: a Danish nationwide cohort study (2021)

Current guidelines from EASL recommend that most patients with cirrhosis are offered surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but fewer than expected patients actually receive it. The recommendation is based on observational studies and simul... Read More about We need stronger evidence for (or against) hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance.
