TL;DR: The global estimate of viraemic HCV infections is lower than previous estimates, largely due to more recent prevalence estimates in Africa, and increased mortality due to liver-related causes and an ageing population may have contributed to a reduction in infections.

TL;DR: The estimate of HBV prevalence in 2016 differs from previous studies, potentially because it took into account the effect of infant prophylaxis and early childhood vaccination, as well as changing prevalence over time.

TL;DR: The clinical practice guidelines of the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver on MAFLD are presented to improve patient care and awareness of the disease and assist stakeholders in the decision-making process by providing evidence-based data.

TL;DR: In this article , a literature review, Delphi process, and mathematical modelling were used to estimate hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence (viraemic infection, defined as HCV RNA-positive cases) and the cascade of care among people of all ages (age ≥ 0 years from birth) for the period between Jan 1, 2015 and Dec 31, 2030.

TL;DR: The AARC-ACLF score is easy to use, dynamic and reliable, and superior to the existing prediction models and can reliably predict the need for interventions, such as liver transplant, within the first week.
