Using a machine learning model to risk stratify for the presence of significant liver disease in a primary care population (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Current strategies for detecting significant chronic liver disease (CLD) in the community are based on the extrapolation of diagnostic tests used in secondary care settings. Whilst this approach provides clinical utility, it has limitatio...
