Highlights
During 2013 the Research Group CIBERehd of the Hospital de la Santa Cruz y Sant
Pablo (EHD 25) , led by Dr. Carlos Guarner, has developed a large scientific activity

both by the own team and in collaboration with other groups of CIBERehd.

In this period we have published 18 articles, all but two in international journals.
Publications are 13 originals, 2 reviews , 2 letters and an article by consensus.

Eight of the publications are of our team, that means made under the direction

of any member of our group and 10 are collaborative studies with other groups.
Of the 8 own publications, five are articles, 4 of the first quartile and one of the

first decile. It is important to highlight our publication in New England Journal of

Medicine “Transfusion strategies for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding”, which
merited an editorial comment and letters, and has now been cited in 73 articles .

Of the 10 articles with other collaborative groups of the CIBERehd 7 have been

published in journals of the first decile.

Currently, we have 7 state grants on hepatic encephalopathy, fragility in cirrhosis,
translocation in cirrhosis evaluated by pyrosequencing, preventing the develop-

ment of portal hypertension in cirrhosis and application of prostheses in patients

with esophageal variceal bleeding.

We are collaborating in 8 multicentric clinical trials on complications of cirrhosis
and 9 unrelated to our area (chronic viral hepatitis).

The industry is funding 3 projects of basic research on the prevention of bacterial

translocation and its consequences by probiotics.

Eva Romn has read her doctoral thesis, obtaining a maximum assessment, en-
titled “Fallen in patients with liver cirrhosis. Relationship between cognitive im-
13
pairment and quality of life. “The two collaborators hired by the CIBERehd are 20
T
finalizing their doctoral thesis.
