I like hepatology and clinical epidemiology - especially in combination.
Here is an update on the cirrhosis epidemiology in Denmark: doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...
* Median age at cirrhosis diagnosis up from 56y in 1998 to 66y in 2022
* Proportion with ALD cirrhosis down from 80% to 58%
* Prevalence of cirrhosis peaked in 2024
* Survival has improved

Congratulations! Well done.
Validation studies are important, yes!

JHEP Reports has published our update cirrhosis epidemiology in Denmark: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Our population of cirrhosis patients is changing: They're older now than they used to be, and fewer have ALD. The incidence of ALD is decreasing in Denmark, unlike in so many other places.

Billions of pounds are being ploughed into Britain’s health service — with little noticeable improvement in health since 2019.
