Scoping Review Protocol: “Socio-Economic Status and End-Stage Liver Disease: A Scoping Review of Deprivation Scores in Assessing Health Inequalities in Pre- and Post-Transplant Survival”.

Review Question: “Does lower socio-economic status (SES), as measured by composite indices of deprivation, impact negatively on survival amongst people in need of liver transplantation (LT)?”.We will include studies reporting survival of patients in need of liver transplantation or post liver transplantation, amongst different socio-economic groups defined by composite deprivation scores, including only highly powered studies (national databases or equivalently powered multi or single-centre studies).
