Article Abstract
Direct-acting antivirals (DAA) has dramatically improved the prognosis of liver transplantation (LT) candidates for HCV end-stage liver disease (ESLD). We aimed to evaluate the impact of DAA on waiting list (WL) registration and LT activity in France. We evaluated all patients registered to the French WL for HCV ESLD between 2000 and 2018. Timespan was divided into two periods according to DAA availability: 2010-2013 versus 2014-2018. Changes in the indications of LT, outcome on WL were evaluated. Then, we evaluated the activity of LT and outcome for HCV recipients in France. Among 3,173 HCV candidates, registration on WL decreased by 33% between 2013 and 2018. The 1-year waitlist survival increased from 76.9% (95%CI: 74.2%-79.4%) in 2010-2013 to 79.8% (95%CI: 77.2%-82.1%) in 2014-2018 (p < 0.01). Regarding LT activity, the part of HCV ESLD decreased from 26% in 2010 to 16% in 2018. The 1-year graft survival rate in HCV recipients increased from 76.9% (95%CI: 73.7%-79.7%) in 2010-2012 to 84.9% (95%CI: 82.9%-86.7%) in 2013-2018 (p < 0.01). The availability of DAA to treat HCV infection is associated with a significant decrease of registration for LT, death and drop out for worsening condition on the LT. In addition, it has decreased the number of HCV+ LT and improved the 1-year graft survival in France.

Introduction: Voucher-based food as medicine programs have become a common method to help reduce the burden of chronic disease. While recent studies find these programs reduce HbA1c, few of these studies included a comparison group.
Objective: This article evaluates the impact of a clinically based voucher program on HbA1c of diabetic patients.

Objectives: End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a major disease that seriously threatens the health of young people, and kidney transplantation is an effective treatment method to improve its prognosis.Young ESRD patients at a critical stage of life development often face significant physical and psychological challenges while waiting for kidney transplantation. Their psychological state directly affects treatment compliance and transplantation outcomes.

The nocebo effect, negative treatment outcomes arising from patient expectations, therapeutic context, or clinician communication, plays a possibly significant yet often underestimated role in psychotherapy. Drawing on recent empirical and theoretical contributions, possible mechanisms how nocebo effects occur and can be attenuated in psychotherapeutic practice are discussed. Nocebo effects may arise from therapist communication, previous treatment failures, adverse therapeutic dynamics, poorly managed expectations, social influences outside the therapy, or context factors elements such as waiting lists.

Background: The duration from diagnosis to primary treatment initiation (DTI) is an important interval for patients with cancer, as delayed treatment has been found to be associated with heightened recurrence rates and worsened survival. Studying the association between DTI duration and overall survival (OS) is biased and confounded by clinical triaging, heterogeneous definitions, and variation in analytic approaches.
Objective: To develop consensus-based guidance for conducting studies investigating the association of DTI duration and OS.
