Bush H, et al. - Using data from the National Inpatient Survey database from 2005 to 2011, researchers evaluated temporal changes in the different types of liver disease (LD) cases and outcomes from Emergency Departments (EDs) across the US. There were 20,641,839 cases in EDs during the study period. Cases without LD, nonhepatocellular carcinoma–related cancers, human immunodeficiency virus infection, or those with missing information were excluded. The number of LD cases presenting EDs is increasing and the diagnosis of LD is associated with a higher mortality rate for patients admitted via ED. The number of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) diagnoses in the ED is dramatically increasing.
