ABSTRACT

We read with great interests the study by Dr. John et al. In this retrospective study using national data on USA Veterans, multivariate competing risk analysis identified that male gender was independently associated with a higher risk of death/transplantation, and liver-related death/transplantation for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and cirrhosis.
