Abstract
Cirrhosis can be challenging to recognize and manage in the perioperative setting. The Fibrosis 4 (FIB-4) score is a screening test that can help determine the likelihood of underlying advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis in patients with chronic liver disease. Liver stiffness correlates with severity of fibrosis and cirrhosis and can be measured noninvasively with transient elastography or MR elastography; a normal liver stiffness effectively rules out cirrhosis. Perioperative risk calculators include the Child-Turcotte-Pugh Score, the Mayo Risk Score, the Veterans Outcomes and Costs Associated with Liver Disease-Penn (VOCAL-Penn) score; each has its limitations. In addition to reviewing the above tools, we will briefly discuss common perioperative dilemmas in patients with cirrhosis, including selection of patients for umbilical hernia repair or bariatric surgery, and will highlight methods to optimize patients with cirrhosis prior to surgical interventions.
期刊介绍:
The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
