Does steroid-free immunosuppression after liver transplantation increase the risk of graft fibrosis?
Steroid-free immunosuppression did not increase the risk of graft fibrosis in the long term.
Hospitalization rate decreased significantly in patients with Crohn's disease but not ulcerative colitis after the introduction of anti-TNF therapy and was associated with time to therapy. Complicated disease phenotype and concomitant azathioprine use were additional factors defining the risk of hospitalization.
