#MondayResearchMinute Check out this article by Vicki Jackson and colleagues around psychological distress among patients with decompensated cirrhosis and their caregivers! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39450861/ #geriatrics #gastroenterology #caregivers #psych #distress #qualitative

Among 127 patients with decompensated cirrhosis and their caregivers, over 1 in 4 dyads reported clinically significant depression symptoms and over 1 in 6 reported clinically significant anxiety symptoms. Over 50% of cirrhosis caregivers reported clinically significant anxiety.

Excited to announce our new study published in CGH #palliativehepatology Patients w/ cirrhosis highly value timely prognostic communication. Yet, 81% of the 218 pts in our study never discussed end-of-life care wishes with their hepatologist. cghjournal.org/article/S1542-…
