TL;DR: In cases of failure of traditional ERC to achieve biliary drainage, EUS-BD appears to be an emerging therapeutic modality with a cumulative success rate of 90 % and cumulative adverse events rate of 17 %.

Muhammad Ali Khan,Tariq Hammad,Zubair Khan,Wade M. Lee,Monica Gaidhane,Amy Tyberg,Michel Kahaleh +6 more
TL;DR: Endoscopic drainage should be the preferred therapeutic modality for PFCs compared to percutaneous drainage as it is associated with significantly better clinical success, a lower re-intervention rate, and a shorter hospital length of stay.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the possible association between pharmacological gastric acid suppression and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
TL;DR: There appear to be statistically significant, but quantitatively small, associations between gastric acid suppression and SBP, however, the magnitude of the possible association diminished when analysis focused on higher quality data that were more robust.

Faisal Kamal,Muhammad Ali Khan,Zubair Khan,George Cholankeril,Tariq Hammad,Wade M. Lee,Aijaz Ahmed,Bradford Waters,Colin W. Howden,Satheesh Nair,Sanjaya K. Satapathy +10 more
TL;DR: Rifaximin has a protective effect against the development of SBP in cirrhosis and the quality of the evidence as per the GRADE framework was very low.
