Is type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis and IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis associated with extrapancreatic organ failure , malignancy , and mortality in a prospective UK cohort?
Our findings suggest that AIP and IgG4-SC are associated with significant morbidity and mortality owing to extrapancreatic organ failure and malignancy. Detailed clinical evaluation for evidence of organ dysfunction and associated malignancy is required both at first presentation and during long-term follow-up.
These results suggest that plasma TRX level is associated with the severity of OSA. Therefore, TRX may be used as a severity indicator of OSA.
