hepatic artery and portal vein doppler indexes in non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease before and after treatment to prevent unnecessary health care costs

Hepatic Artery and Portal Vein Doppler Indexes in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Before and After Treatment to Prevent Unnecessary Health Care Costs

BACKGROUND We tested whether hepatic haemodynamics assessed by Doppler ultrasonography can be a predictor of response to therapy in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to prevent further unnecessary diagnostic tests and interventions. METHODS Forty eight consecutive patients affected by NAFLD, who refered to some clinics in Tabriz, Iran between 2009 and 2011 were included ...

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Treatment

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing in pediatric age group parallel to the growing prevalence of obesity and overweight all around the world. So changing in life style and   interventions on obesogenic environment is cornerstone of NAFLD therapy in obese children. Some experts recommend that children and adolescents be encouraged to follow a low-fat, low-glycemic-index diet t...

comparison of portal vein doppler indices and hepatic vein doppler waveform in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with healthy control

Comparison of Portal Vein Doppler Indices and Hepatic Vein Doppler Waveform in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease with Healthy Control

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study is to investigate the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with the doppler waveform pattern of hepatic veins and portal vein doppler indices. OBJECTIVES This assay may be useful in evaluating the natural course of NAFLD and monitor treatment efficacy on follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS This case control study was performed in 31...

Course of Health Care Costs before and after Psychiatric Inpatient Treatment: Patient-Reported vs. Administrative Records

Background There is limited evidence on the course of health service costs before and after psychiatric inpatient treatment, which might also be affected by source of cost data. Thus, this study examines: i) differences in health care costs before and after psychiatric inpatient treatment, ii) whether these differences vary by source of cost-data (self-report vs. administrative), and iii) predi...
