    Liver elastography can predict degree of advanced fibrosis for autoimmune hepatitis in biochemical remission
    (2023) PARANAGUA-VEZOZZO, Denise Cerqueira; TERRABUIO, Debora Raquel Benedita; REINOSO-PEREIRA, Gleicy Luz; MOUTINHO, Renata; ONO, Suzane Kioko; SALAS, Veronica Walwyn; FRANCA, Joao Italo Dias; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; CANCADO, Eduardo Luiz Rachid; CARRILHO, Flair Jose
    Background and AimThe aim was to analyze the concordance of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) either by transient elastography (TE) or ARFI with liver biopsy in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) patients with biochemical remission and to identify those with histological remission. Liver biopsy is still the golden standard for AIH diagnosis. However, it is an invasive procedure and these patients, most of the time, require many biopsies, so it would be valuable to search for noninvasive method that could select all these patients and keep under observation. MethodsThirty-three patients with AIH were submitted for liver biopsy to evaluate histological remission after at least 18 months of normal aminotransferases. The efficiency of LSM and fibrosis stages was tested by a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (AUROC). ResultsOne patient (3%) was F0, 6 (18.2%) were F1, 8 (24.2%) were F2, 10 (30.3%) were F3, and 8 (24.2%) were F4, according to METAVIR. Thirteen of thirty-three (39.4%) patients did not achieve histological remission. AUROC for F4 stage was 0.83 (IC: 0.76-0.99) for TE and 0.78 (IC: 0.65-0.95) for ARFI. Optimal LSM cutoff values were 12.3 kPa (Se = 87.5%, Sp = 88%) for TE and 1.65 m/s (Se = 87.5%, Sp = 76%) for ARFI. The tests were unable to differentiate patients with histological activity from those in histological remission (P < 0.05). ConclusionTE and ARFI accurately identify liver fibrosis by METAVIR score in AIH patients with biochemical remission. No cutoff value was detected to indicate whether the patient achieved histological remission.

    Excessive daytime sleepiness, but not sleep apnea, sleep duration or insomnia, was associated with poor adherence to anti-hypertensive treatment: The ELSA-Brasil study
    (2023) AIELO, Aline N.; SANTOS, Ronaldo B.; GIATTI, Soraya; SILVA, Wagner A.; PARISE, Barbara K.; CUNHA, Lorenna F.; SOUZA, Silvana P.; LOTUFO, Paulo A.; BENSENOR, Isabela M.; DRAGER, Luciano F.
    Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. Poor adherence may partially explain this scenario. Beyond traditional factors, it is conceivable that sleep conditions such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Sleep Duration (SDUR), sleepiness and insomnia may contribute to impair adherence but the evidence is scanty. Consecutive participants with hypertension from the ELSA-Brasil study performed a home sleep monitoring and 7-days actigraphy to determine OSA (apnea-hypopnea index >= 15 events/ hour) and SDUR, respectively. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and insomnia were evaluated by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Clinical Interview Scheduled Revised (CIS-R), respectively. The 4itens Morisky questionnaire was used to evaluate adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy. A total of 411 patients were including in the analysis (mean age: 54 +/- 8 years, 47% men). Medium/low adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy was observed in 62%. Compared to the high adherence group, the participants with medium/low adherence had lower frequencies of Whites (64.1 vs. 47.8%), high-degree education (50.6 vs. 40%), and monthly per-capita income ($1021.90 vs. $805.20). In contrast, we observed higher frequency of EDS (35.9 vs. 46.1%). No differences were observed for OSA, short SDUR (<6 h) and insomnia. Logistic regression analysis showed that race other than White (OR: 1.80; 95% IC:1.15-2.82), lower monthly income (OR: 1.74; 95% IC:1.01-3.0) and EDS (OR: 1.63; 95% IC:1.05-2.53) were independently associated with medium/low adherence to the anti-hypertensive treatment. Interestingly, EDS mediated the abdominal obesity-adherence outcome. In conclusion, among sleep-related parameters, EDS, but not OSA, short SDUR or insomnia, were associated to impaired adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
