A fatty liver, which is a common feature in insulin-resistant states, can lead to chronic liver disease. It has been hypothesized that a fatty liver can also increase the rates of non-hepaticrelated morbidity and mortality. Therefore, we wanted to determine whether the fatty liver index (FLI), a sur

Data describing cirrhosis prevalence in the simple steatosis group reported in the study by Rafiq et al. should read NR (not reported) instead of 42 (56.8%). All cirrhosis prevalence proportions were calculated based upon these correct (NR) data.
Background: Patients with cirrhosis in Child-Pugh class C or those in class B who have persistent bleeding at endoscopy are at high risk for treatment failure and a poor prognosis, even if they have undergone rescue treatment with a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). This study ev
