Depression and chronic liver diseases: are there shared underlying mechanisms?

Abstract

The occurrence of depression is higher in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) than that in the general population. The mechanism described in previous studies mainly focused on inflammation and stress, which not only exists in CLD, but also emerges in common chronic diseases, leaving the specific mechanism unknown. This review was to summarize the prevalence and risk factors of depression in CLD including chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and to point out the possible underlying mechanism of this potential link. Clarifying the origins of this common comorbidity (depression and CLD) may provide more information to understand both diseases.

  • Integrating behavioral health services within care of patients with noncommunicable diseases has become a national priority.

    “Integrating behavioral health services within care of patients with noncommunicable diseases, such as heart failure, diabetes, and cancer, has become a national priority.28”

    From A Behavioral Health Program for Alcohol Use Disorder, Substance Abuse, and Depression in Chronic Liver Disease (2019) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Conclusion (page unavailable) calls for studies of depression screening in chronic liver disease management, but does not say that integrating behavioral health services into care has become a national priority. Searches for that priority and for integrated care across noncommunicable diseases found no passage addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
