Clinical Research Workshop Research Methodologies Using Alcohol-associated Liver Disease as a Model

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Liver Meeting Clinical Research Workshop in 2020 concentrated on research methodologies related to alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Talks covered biomarkers for alcohol-associated liver injury, research methods on inflammation and fibrosis, prediction models for alcoholic hepatitis outcomes, and non-invasive markers for fibrosis measurement. Laboratory-based and clinical research methodologies were discussed alongside translating findings from bench to bedside and understanding sobriety barriers in alcohol use disorder. Various non-invasive biomarkers were explored, stressing the importance of early ALD detection due to late diagnosis and diagnosing alcoholic hepatitis accurately using reliable markers. Determining prognosis in patients with ALD and cirrhosis involved exploring new scoring systems and biomarkers for predicting outcomes. The workshop highlighted the necessity for precise research methodologies and clinically relevant measures, focusing on survival, recurrence of ALD, cirrhosis progression, and alcohol use post-transplantation. The video transcript discussed research methodologies to understand sobriety barriers in ALD and emphasized cohort study designs, challenges with administrative data use, statistical tips, and leveraging large databases for effective resource allocation and patient care enhancement.
