Background and aim of the study
There are still patients with hepatitis C in Spain who have yet to be diagnosed, but their clinical profile is unclear. In 2021, 21.93% of patients diagnosed had cirrhosis and were mostly treatment-naïve.
Methods
This sub-analysis describes the clinical profile of the 60 Spanish treatment-naïve patients with compensated cirrhosis who were included in the CREST study.
Major results
Sixty percent of patients were male, median age 56 years, and 33% had a history of drug use. Almost three-quarters (71.3%) had more than one comorbidity and 78.3% took concomitant medication. At treatment initiation, median platelet count was 139 × 103/μL and FibroScan® 17 kPa. No virological failure was observed and no patient discontinued treatment due to adverse events. No clinically significant changes were noted during or after treatment in the median platelet, albumin, bilirubin, and transaminase levels.
Conclusions
Treatment with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir for 8 weeks in this cohort of treatment-naïve patients with compensated cirrhosis in Spain was safe and effective. This information reinforces the use of this short antiviral regimen even when there is compensated cirrhosis, simplifying the approach to hepatitis C among those patients still to be diagnosed and treated in Spain.

Background
Acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (ALGIB) is a common cause of hospitalization. Recent guidelines recommend the use of prognostic scales for risk stratification. However, it remains unclear whether risk scores are more accurate than some simpler prognostic variables.
Objective
To compare the predictive values of haemoglobin alone and the Oakland score for predicting outcomes in ALGIB patients.
Design
Single-centre, retrospective study at a University Hospital. Data were extracted from the hospital's clinical records. The Oakland score was calculated at admission. Study outcomes were defined according to the original article describing the Oakland score: safe discharge (the primary Oakland score outcome), transfusion, rebleeding, readmission, therapeutic intervention and death. Area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) curve and accuracy using haemoglobin and the Oakland score were calculated for each outcome.
Results
Two hundred and fifty-eight patients were included. Eighty-four (32.6%) needed transfusion, 50 (19.4%) presented rebleeding, 31 (12.1%) required therapeutic intervention, 20 (7.8%) were readmitted and six (2.3%) died. There were no differences in the AUROC curve values for haemoglobin versus the Oakland score with regard to safe discharge (0.82 (0.77–0.88) vs 0.80 (0.74–0.86), respectively) or to therapeutic intervention and death. Haemoglobin was significantly better for predicting transfusion and rebleeding, and the Oakland score was significantly better for predicting readmission.
Conclusion
In our study, the Oakland score did not perform better than haemoglobin alone for predicting the outcome of patients with ALGIB. The usefulness of risk scores for predicting outcomes in clinical practice remains uncertain.

Background
Small bowel tumors (SBT) are infrequent and represent a small proportion of digestive neoplasms. There is scarce information about SBT in Latin America.
Aim
To describe the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods, and survival of malignant SBTs.
Methods
Retrospective observational study of adult patients with histopathological diagnosis of SBT between 2007 and 2021 in a university hospital in Chile.
Results
A total of 104 patients [51.9% men; mean age 57 years] with SBT. Histological type: neuroendocrine tumor (NET) (43.7%, n = 38), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) (21.8%, n = 19), lymphoma (17.2%, n = 15) and adenocarcinoma (AC) (11.5%, n = 10). GIST was more frequent in duodenum (50%; n = 12) and NET in the ileum (65.8%; n = 25). Metastasis was observed in 17 cases, most commonly from colon and melanoma. Nausea and vomiting were significantly more often observed in AC (p = 0.035), as well as gastrointestinal bleeding in GIST (p = 0.007). The most common diagnostic tools were CT and CT enteroclysis with an elevated diagnostic yield (86% and 94% respectively). The 5-year survival of GIST, NET, lymphoma and AC were 94.7% (95%CI: 68.1–99.2), 82.2% (95%CI: 57.6–93.3), 40.0% (95%CI: 16.5–82.8) and 25.9% (95%CI: 4.5–55.7%), respectively. NET (HR 6.1; 95%CI: 2.1–17.2) and GIST (HR 24.4; 95%CI: 3.0–19.8) were independently associated with higher survival compared to AC, adjusted for age and sex.
Conclusions
Malignant SBT are rare conditions and NETs are the most common histological subtype. Clinical presentation at diagnosis, location or complications may suggest a more probable diagnosis. GIST and NET are associated with better survival compared to other malignant subtypes.
