An Australian Community-Based Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease Care Pathway for People with Type 2 Diabetes: Barriers and Considerations
The low rate of participation in the "liver health check" and liver clinic referral reflects a real-world scenario and may stem from societal under-recognition and engagement with MASLD, competing health priorities or under-appreciation of the link between liver fibrosis severity and mortality risk. Further studies need to address strategies to enhance participation in liver health assessments and determine their impact on liver-related morbidity/mortality and overall survival.
