A thought-provoking look at where terminology meets bedside care. Moderator: T...
This EASL Studio explores the discrepancy between the huge burden of patients hospitalised with, and dying from, alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) or MetALD, versus the same disease’s near non-existence from population data.
