Clinico-Epidemiological Spectrum of Chronic Liver Disease Patients at a Tertiary Care Center in Ajman, UAE – A Descriptive 5 year data analysis

Key Points

This research aims to analyze the clinico-epidemiological spectrum of chronic liver disease (CLD) in a specific cohort.
Descriptive analysis of data collected over five years from a tertiary care center.
Focus on demographics, prevalence of metabolic risk factors, and liver disease characteristics.
Assessment of socio-economic background of affected individuals.
A significant number of economically productive males were impacted by chronic liver disease.
High prevalence of obesity and diabetes was noted among patients, linking metabolic issues to liver health.
The findings suggest an urgent need for early detection and management of risk factors.

Abstract

Conclusions: This tertiary-care cohort found a predominance of economically productive males who were affected by CLD, who also exhibited a high prevalence of metabolic risk factors. Origins of obesity and diabetes have highlighted the regional influence of metabolic (MAD) liver disease. To optimise the outcome of patients who have these diseases, there is an urgent need for early screening and comprehensive management of metabolic risk factors.
