Liver Fibrosis and Risk of Incident Dementia in the General Population: Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis

Based on our findings, healthcare professionals should recognize the moderately increased risk of developing dementia in individuals with liver fibrosis and perform close surveillance of these patients to enable early detection and timely intervention.
