Low Accuracy of FIB-4 and NAFLD Fibrosis Scores for Screening for Liver Fibrosis in the Population (2022)
Journal Article
Graupera, I., Thiele, M., Serra-Burriel, M., Caballeria, L., Roulot, D., Wong, G. L.-H., …Krag, A. (2022). Low Accuracy of FIB-4 and NAFLD Fibrosis Scores for Screening for Liver Fibrosis in the Population. Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 20(11), 2567-2576.e6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cgh.2021.12.034

Background & Aims Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) and the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score (NFS) are the 2 most popular noninvasive blood-based serum tests proposed for widespread fibrosis screening. We therefore aimed to describe the accuracy o... Read More about Low Accuracy of FIB-4 and NAFLD Fibrosis Scores for Screening for Liver Fibrosis in the Population.

Variability of noninvasive MRI and biological markers in compensated cirrhosis: insights for assessing disease progression (2022)
Journal Article

Variability of noninvasive MRI and biological markers in compensated cirrhosis: insights for assessing disease progression. European Radiology Experimental, 6(1), Article 52. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41747-022-00303-y

Abstract: Background: We annually monitored stable compensated cirrhosis (CC) patients to evaluate serial variation in blood serum, liver stiffness, and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) measures to provide reference change values (R...

Genetic variation in TERT modifies the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in alcohol-related cirrhosis: Results from a genome-wide case-control study (2022)
Journal Article
Buch, S., Innes, H., Lutz, P. L., Nischalke, H. D., Marquardt, J. U., Fischer, J., …Stickel, F. (2022). Genetic variation in TERT modifies the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in alcohol-related cirrhosis: Results from a genome-wide case-control study. Gut, 72(2), 381-391. https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2022-327196

Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often develops in patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis at an annual risk of up to 2.5%. Some host genetic risk factors have been identified but do not account for the majority of the variance in occurrence...

Performance of routine risk scores for predicting cirrhosis-related morbidity in the community (2022)
Journal Article
Innes, H., Morling, J. R., Buch, S., Hamill, V., Stickel, F., & Guha, I. N. (2022). Performance of routine risk scores for predicting cirrhosis-related morbidity in the community. Journal of Hepatology, 77(2), 365-376. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhep.2022.02.022

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Models predicting an individual’s ten-year risk of cirrhosis complications have not been developed for a community setting. Our objectives were to assess the performance of existing risk scores – both with and without genetic data...

Comprehensive Comparative Analysis of Standard Validated, Genetic, and Novel Biomarkers to Enhance Prognostic Risk-Stratification in Patients With Hepatitis C Virus Cirrhosis (2022)
Journal Article
Innes, H., Walker, A. J., Benselin, J., Grove, J. I., Pedergnana, V., Azim Ansari, M., …Guha, I. N. (2022). Comprehensive Comparative Analysis of Standard Validated, Genetic, and Novel Biomarkers to Enhance Prognostic Risk-Stratification in Patients With Hepatitis C Virus Cirrhosis. Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology, 13(3), Article e00462. https://doi.org/10.14309/ctg.0000000000000462

INTRODUCTION: Risk-stratifying patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhosis according to medium-term prognosis will inform clinical decision-making. It is unclear which biomarkers/models are optimal for this purpose. We quantified the discriminati...

Health Technology Adoption in Liver Disease: Innovative Use of Data Science Solutions for Early Disease Detection (2022)
Journal Article
Bennett, L., Purssell, H., Street, O., Piper Hanley, K., Morling, J. R., Hanley, N. A., …ID-LIVER Consortium. (2022). Health Technology Adoption in Liver Disease: Innovative Use of Data Science Solutions for Early Disease Detection. Frontiers in Digital Health, 4, Article 737729. https://doi.org/10.3389/fdgth.2022.737729

Chronic liver disease (CLD) is an ignored epidemic. Premature mortality is considerable and in the United Kingdom (UK) liver disease is in the top three for inequitable healthcare alongside heart and respiratory disease. Fifty percentage of patients... Read More about Health Technology Adoption in Liver Disease: Innovative Use of Data Science Solutions for Early Disease Detection.
