Geographic disparities in access to liver transplant for advanced cirrhosis: Time to ring the alarm!
American Journal of Transplantation, Volume 24, May 2024
Nearly 2.4% of global deaths in 2019 were attributed to cirrhosis, which has increased since 2017. Liver transplantation (LT) is accepted as a lifesaving therapy for patients with complications of cirrhosis or hepatocellular cancer, but there are several barriers toward equitable access. This article outlines ways to reduce the disparities
This article supports SDG 3 by developing noninvasive tools for predicting liver fibrosis in autoimmune hepatitis patients.
This Article supports SDG3 by investigating the barriers to receiving childhood hepatitis B vaccines in Laos. The findings suggest that socioeconomic factors play a substantial role in the variation in vaccine coverage, particularly household income and education.
Ethnic minorities form smaller proportions of Randomised controlled trial cohorts compared to the general population. Efforts to recruit more ethnic minority patients should be made in North America and Europe and more sites in underserved regions would ensure findings are generalisable to diverse groups. This review assessed the global population enrolled in contemporary RCTs for novel therapies now routinely given for gynecological cancers, adding novel understanding of the global distribution of research sites.
