Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Clinical guidelines are informational documents that include recommendations aimed at optimizing patient care. Evidence-based clinical guidelines are built on systematic reviews of scientific evidence, high-quality randomized clinical trials, and an assessment of the benefits and harms of different healthcare options. A large volume of information on and variability in the quality of scientific information have been generated in recent years in the area of health, so there is a need to create syntheses that facilitate access to this information and allow for scientific recommendations based on evidence that can provide support for the scientific quality of decision making, for health professionals, managers, and patients. This Special Issue of Life will be dedicated to publishing the best articles that reflect efforts and innovations related to clinical guidelines in the area of health. In this Special Issue, we hope to bring together the best clinical guideline articles that reflect the best current scientific evidence. All submissions will be selected and peer-reviewed to ensure their quality and relevance.

(1) Background: Patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) are living longer with more comorbidities because of improved medical and surgical management. However, patients with ACLD are at increased risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality; (2) Methods: We conducted a comprehensive review of the literature to support a narrative clinical guideline about the assessment of mortality risk and management of perioperative morbidity in patients with ACLD undergoing surgical procedures; (3) Results: Slight data exist to guide the perioperative management of patients with ACLD, and most recommendations are based on case series and expert opinion. The severity of liver dysfunction, portal hypertension, cardiopulmonary and renal comorbidities, and complexity of surgery and type (elective versus emergent) are predictors of perioperative morbidity and mortality. Expert multidisciplinary teams are necessary to evaluate and manage ACLD before, during, and after surgical procedures; (4) Conclusions: This clinical practice document updates the available data and recommendations to optimize the management of patients with advanced chronic liver disease who undergo surgical procedures.
