Missed and Delayed Diagnoses of Chronic Liver Disease in Primary Care Patients with Cirrhosis.

Background: Chronic liver diseases (CLD), cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cause significant morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, patients with CLD often go undiagnosed until progression to cirrhosis and HCC. We aimed to determine the proportion of primary care patients with severe liver disease outcomes that had missed or delayed CLD diagnoses.

A rise in social media utilization by U.S. neurology residency programs in the era of COVID-19.

Objective: To determine how neurology departments and residency programs in the United States used virtual communication to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic, we investigated the presence and use of social media pages, virtual outreach events, and virtual internship opportunities.

Methods: Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts were identified (or noted as nonexistent) for 159 accredited neurology departments and residency programs. Google searches and social media site specific searches were performed.
