“…In earlier reports, 1-month survival was 92.2% 12 and 1-year survival was 83% 13 and 80.9%. 12 More recent publications indicated a comparable 30-day survival rate of 87.2%, 14 a 3-month survival rate of 80.8%, 14 and a 1-year survival rate of 78.9%. 15 However, we did not restrict on cases with complete follow-ups, and patients discharged from ICU before expiration of observation period were consequently classified as dropouts.…”

“…7 However, results showing prognostic relevance of preoperative values regarding postoperative outcome must be interpreted carefully as sufficient differentiations seem to depend on distinct parameter classifications. 5,14 Other results even negated notable associations, 6 whereas certain modifications might still be of benefit as multiplication with donor age (D-MELD) enabled sufficient stratification of postoperative outcome in one study, 8 for example. Moreover, MELD is still discussed to be connected with posttransplant quality of life as further important outcome parameter.…”

Esophageal varices is one of the most important comorbidity related liver cirrhosis, patients usually presented with hematemesis, melena, or both, ultimately 20% is the mortality during the first attack, hence we aimed to investigate the incidence of such esophageal varices related chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in randomized Egyptian population.One thousand eighteen Egyptian patients, aged between 17 and 58 years, positive for Hepatitis C virus genotype 4 (HCV-4) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay Ab and HCV RNA-polymerase chain reaction were screened for the presence of esophageal varices.Incidence of esophageal varices was 62.3%; 635 patients, those with large Esophageal varices (LEVs) was 47.4%; 301 patients. Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score has not been significantly improved post variceal band ligation (VBL). Using 2D U/S was useful for EVs prediction.Incidence of esophageal varices in HCV Egyptian patients still high, valuable knowledge would be helpful in clinical field have been discovered by data mining computational intelligent analysis using in practical medicine to improve overall health care.
