Observational StudyAn elevated liver fibrosis index FIB 4 score is associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis: an observational cohort study.
So far, no study has investigated the association between subclinical hepatic fibrosis and sepsis, especially in terms of prognosis. ⋯ The FIB‑4 index is associated with 28‑day, 90‑day, and in‑hospital mortality as well as with renal replacement therapy in septic patients without overt chronic liver disease. In other words, an advanced stage of subclinical hepatic fibrosis as represented by the FIB‑4 score indicates poor outcomes in patients with sepsis.

The presence of particular criteria and non-criteria antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with uterine malignancies.
Currently, there have been limited data on the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) in patients with uterine malignancies (UMs). ⋯ Antiphospholipid antibodies were present at significant levels in patients with UMs. Noncriteria aPLs yet no criteria aPLs were more frequently found in patients with UMs than in those with NCGDs. The incidence of thrombosis was significantly higher in patients with UMs.
