Delighted to see our paper out in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology. It would not have been possible without collaboration of the authors of primary studies and LITMUS_Project support. Special mention to Patrick Bossuyt and Ferenc Mozes for methodological innovation and Quentin M. Anstee for inspiration.

📣Calling all attendees EASLnews #ILC2023!! Please spread the word 😊 ➡️ Two great opportunities for enthusiastic scientists 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬 to join the Newcastle University Liver Research Group. ➡️ Exciting new project on #NASH #NAFLD #Cirrhosis 🔬🧪🧬 jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Research-A…

All cause mortality was part of the composite end point, so deaths from CV events or non primary liver cancer were captured. However, numbers and follow-up not large / long enough to draw conclusions for individual types of events.

Very excited our trial is out showing the safety and potential efficacy of rapid weight loss in #NASH. dx.doi.org/10.1002/oby.23…

In this meta-analysis of individual patient data, liver biopsy performed the same as FIB-4, fibroscan liver stiffness and NAFLD fibrosis score in predicting clinical outcomes up to 10 yrs in pts with NAFLD Time to abandon liver biopsies! ➡ Use FIB-4! doi.org/10.1016/S2468-…

including two papers from LITMUS_Project and a LITMUS_Project inspired cover!

After 6+ years, the LITMUS_Project project will be ending in a few months. The final General Assembly has just been held in Copenhagen. Among the highlights was the news that we have successfully submitted the initial Qualification Package to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This comprehensive submission includes PRO-C3, ADAPT, and the FAST score, with the context of use 'Diagnostic Enrichment'. Such an achievement stands as a testament to the collective endeavours of the entire LITMUS consortium. Innovative Health Initiative EFPIA

The goal of LITMUS is to develop & validate highly accurate blood tests and imaging techniques to allow doctors & researchers to rapidly and easily diagnose the severity of disease and monitor changes in patients’ livers for Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH)

1/ This week I saw a 66-year-old lady with ALD cirrhosis who had turned her life around with 3-yrs of abstinence. However, she drank 4 bottles of 0% beer/day. This felt like a red flag but I had to go away and look at the data. 🧵Here's a #tweetorial about what I learnt...

200 nationalities, one NHS. Huge thanks to everyone who has dedicated their lives to caring for others.
