New study finds success in liver disease diagnosis with AI
Per a recent release from AASLD, researchers have found that AI might be an innovative tool used for screening and treating patients with liver disease. The study found that an artificial intelligence algorithm can detect early-stage metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) accurately through electronic health records. The AI tool found that 83% of patients were undiagnosed but met MASLD criteria. Because early diagnosis is critical to reduce the progression of MASLD to advanced liver disease like liver cancer, these findings can complement secondary prevention efforts and physicians’ workflows to identify and treat MASLD early.
Management tool for Educating Providers on Hepatitis Monitoring and Treatment
Published by Clinical Care Options, this interactive decision tool provides recommendations on how and whether to treat B and D infections. Based upon U.S., European, and Asian-Pacific guidelines recommended through AASLD, EASL, and APASL to support optimal treatment decision-making for patients with HBV and HDV infections. The resource extends global evidence for monitoring or treating these chronic infections. The tool was released in March of 2023 and will expire in March of 2026.
