Liver disease prevalence and severity in people with serious mental illness: a cross-sectional analysis using non-invasive diagnostic tools.

Background/purpose Of The Study: Little is known about all-cause liver disease in people with serious mental illness (SMI), despite heightened risk factors.

Acute medical stabilisation of adults with anorexia nervosa: experience of a defined interdisciplinary model of care.
