Chronic liver disease (CLD) has become a silent epidemic in our country and has resulted in significant physical, psychosocial, and financial burden. Although other international liver associations have published frameworks for the principal actions required to improve liver health across health systems, Canada does not have a strategy to address the growing concerns of CLD. Thus, a multidisciplinary group of care providers involved in CLD management in Canada gathered to review the current burden of disease, gaps in management, and key opportunities for improving the identification and management of people at risk of developing progressive CLD.
慢性肝病(CLD)在我国已成为一种悄无声息的流行病,并造成了巨大的身体、心理社会和经济负担。尽管其他国际肝脏协会已发布了关于在整个卫生系统中改善肝脏健康所需主要行动的框架,但加拿大却没有应对CLD日益增长问题的战略。因此,加拿大参与CLD管理的多学科护理提供者小组齐聚一堂,以审查当前的疾病负担、管理差距以及改善对有发展为进行性CLD风险人群的识别和管理的关键机会。
