Bausch Health and Salix have released the Liver Health Trends Report in Action, highlighting the urgent need for improved understanding of liver disease across healthcare providers. The report reveals that care for chronic liver disease (CLD) patients is increasingly falling on non-specialists who require better education and support.
Key findings include:
- Approximately 4.5 million U.S. adults are diagnosed with CLD, which can lead to cirrhosis
- CLD is the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S., with mortality projected to nearly triple by 2030
- People with cirrhosis have nearly double the post-emergency department visit mortality rate compared to chronic heart failure patients
The report calls for holistic, multi-disciplinary treatment approaches, consistent use of non-invasive screening tools, and better education to identify at-risk patients sooner. It also emphasizes the need for broader adoption of user-friendly guidelines, investment in community-based care resources, and increased awareness of screening guidelines for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
