Meta-analysis: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in biliary colic

Biliary colic is a common manifestation of cholelithiasis, developing in about one‐third of patients. Even if nonsteroid anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have widely been used to relieve biliary pain, there is a lack of systematic review of treatments on this issue.

1369 TRANSIENT ELASTOGRAPHY IN ACUTE ALCOHOLIC HEPATITIS AND DURING FOLLOW UP: A SINGLE-INSTITUTION EXPERIENCE

(p < 0.0001; CI = 7.42, 20.58; % of events correctly reclassified = 39.47%), respectively. The combination of uEtG with CDT and AUDIT-c showed a better prediction rate of alcohol consumption when compared to the combination of CDT and AUDIT-c and the combination of CDT, AUDIT-c, MCV, GGT and AST/ALT ratio, with a NRI of 18.69% (p < 0.0001; CI = 11.31, 26.08; % of events correctly reclassified = 46.51%) and 36% (p < 0.0001; CI = 26.93, 45.07; % of events correctly reclassified = 16.27%; % of non events correctly reclassified = 48.43%), respectively. Conclusions: uEtG represents a sensitive, specific and accurate marker of alcohol consumption in LTCs and LTRs, and improves detection of alcohol consumption in these patients. Hence, it should be routinely used in the assessment of LTCs and LTRs.
