Abstract

Background: Accurate estimates for the contemporary burden of chronic liver disease (CLD) are vital for setting clinical, research, and policy priorities. We aimed to review the incidence, prevalence, and mortality of CLD and its resulting complications, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Findings: The epidemiology of CLD is shifting, reflecting implementation of large-scale hepatitis B vaccination and hepatitis C treatment programs, the rising prevalence of the metabolic syndrome, and increasing alcohol misuse. In this setting, data from the Centers for Disease Control and the Global Burden of Disease Study demonstrate the incidence and clinical impact of CLD and its complications continue to rise worldwide. We conclude by discussing limitations of available data and outline steps on improving data infrastructure. Conclusion: The global burden of CLD and cirrhosis is substantial. Although vaccination, screening, and anti-viral treatment campaigns for hepatitis B and C have reduced CLD burden in some parts of the world, concomitant increases in injection drug use, alcohol misuse and metabolic syndrome threaten these trends. Ongoing efforts to address CLD-related morbidity and mortality require accurate contemporary estimates of epidemiology and outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
