We constructed logistic regression models for mortality and a composite outcome, including mortality, recurrence, recrudescence, new bacteraemia, liver abscess or other complications related to cholangitis. We also developed a propensity score for SCT with inverse probability weighting for both the primary outcome and the composite outcome.... | View Full Abstract | Subject Headings | Pharmacy | Call Number | 616.0105 CMI | Location | Periodicals Hall 2nd floor - قاعة الدوريات - الطابق الثاني |
