Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Hithanadura J de Silva"
- Hithanadura J de Silva's recent research focuses on the epidemiology of liver diseases, particularly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and their associations with other health risks, alongside the impact of climate change on health-related issues, such as snakebite risks for farmers in tropical regions.
- His studies emphasize the utility of advanced screening techniques, like liver and splenic stiffness measurements and the Fibrosis-4 score, in predicting significant health outcomes and managing chronic diseases in populations, especially in Sri Lanka.
- De Silva has also contributed significantly to understanding snakebite incidence and its spatiotemporal dynamics, utilizing innovative survey designs and modeling approaches to inform public health strategies in addressing neglected tropical diseases.
