Risk factors for early death due to recurrence after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma: Results of a multicenter study by Abdalla, Eddie

“…Of these, 53 (43%) died of recurrence, 30 (24%) of post-operative complications, and 40 (33%) of liver failure/hemorrhage. On multivariateanalysis, tumor size greater than 5 cm (P < 0.02; odds ratio, 3.0), multiple tumors(P < 0.01; odds ratio, 3.3), and greater than 5 mitoses per 10 high-power fields(P < 0.03; odds ratio, 3) were associated with increased risk of early death due torecurrence.Conclusions: These findings enable identification of patients with HCC who are athigh risk for early death due to recurrence following potentially curative resection whomight be candidates for adjuvant therapy trials.…”

Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Michael, Brauer

“…For younger demographics (ie, those aged 0–4 years and 5–14 years), risks such as low birthweight and short gestation and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing (WaSH) were among the leading risk factors, while for older age groups, metabolic risks such as high SBP, high body-mass index (BMI), high FPG, and high LDL cholesterol had a greater impact. From 2000 to 2021, there was an observable shift in global health challenges, marked by a decline in the number of all-age DALYs broadly attributable to behavioural risks (decrease of 20·7% [13·9–27·7]) and environmental and occupational risks (decrease of 22·0% [15·5–28·8]), coupled with a 49·4% (42·3–56·9) increase in DALYs attributable to metabolic risks, all reflecting ageing populations and changing lifestyles on a global scale. …”
