Commentary
The burden of chronic liver disease varies according to aetiology and geographic location. J. M. Paik et al. (Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, Falls Church, VA, USA) assessed the global burden of disability from cirrhosis and liver cancer according to the most common aetiologies, between 2007 and 2017.
Between 2007 and 2017, cirrhosis-related disability-adjusted life-years due to NAFLD/NASH increased by 23.4%, whereas the increment was 37.5% for liver cancer-related disability-adjusted life-years due to NAFLD/NASH.
