Influence of Comorbidities on Health-Related Quality of Life in Alcohol-Related Liver Disease: A Population-Based Survey.

Background And Aims: Extrahepatic comorbidities are common in alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). We examined associations between burden of comorbidities, alcohol, and smoking with low health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with ALD.

Methods: Patients with ALD and matched comparators were identified among respondents of the Danish National Health Survey waves in 2010-2017.

The LIVER CARE trial - screening for liver disease in individuals attending treatment for alcohol use disorder: a randomized controlled feasibility trial.

Background: Alcohol-related liver disease is a preventable disease with high mortality. If individuals with alcohol-related liver disease were to be diagnosed earlier by screening and they reduced their alcohol consumption, lives lost to alcohol-related liver disease might be saved. A liver stiffness measurement (FibroScan©) is a key tool to screen for alcohol-related liver disease in asymptomatic individuals.

Social support and risk of mortality in cirrhosis: A cohort study.

Background & Aims: The function and structure of social relationships influence mortality in individuals within the general population. We compared aspects of social relationships in individuals with cirrhosis and a matched comparison cohort and studied their association with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and mortality in cirrhosis.

Methods: Individuals with cirrhosis and comparators were identified among participants of the Danish National Health Surveys 2010-2017.
