INTRODUCTION: Up to 40% of patients with severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) die within 6 months of presentation, making prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment essential. We determined the associations between serum keratin-18 (K18) and histologi...

Journal Article
Innes, H., Morling, J., Aspinall, E. A., Goldberg, D. J., Hutchinson, S. J., & Guha, I. N. (2020). Late diagnosis of chronic liver disease in a community cohort (UK biobank): determinants and impact on subsequent survival. Public Health, 187, 165-171. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.puhe.2020.07.017

BACKGROUND: Chronic liver disease (CLD) is frequently diagnosed at a late stage when prognosis is poor. We aimed to determine the patient factors associated with a late CLD diagnosis and its subsequent impact on survival in order to support early dia...

Health related quality of life in individuals at high risk of chronic liver disease: Impact of a community diagnostic pathway (2020)
Journal Article
Tildesley, Z., Chalmers, J., Harris, R., West, J., Guha, I. N., & Morling, J. R. (2020). Health related quality of life in individuals at high risk of chronic liver disease: Impact of a community diagnostic pathway. Public Health In Practice, 1, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.puhip.2020.100033

Objectives: There is a lack of understanding of health related quality of life (HRQoL) in chronic liver disease (CLD). With the rising prevalence of alcohol and obesity driven CLD, and the increasing ability to screen for fibrosis, it is important to...

Liver International, 40(9), 2252-2262. https://doi.org/10.1111/liv.14590

Background The incidence of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increased in Type 2 diabetes, primarily secondary to non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). European guidelines recommend screening for NAFLD in Type 2 diabetes. America...
