At the heart of health care is the patient.

Remember that, and remember they are incredible.

We recently had the privilege of sharing the story of the founder of @LiverAwareness
at Hepatology Update hosted by @UHN Toronto Centre for Liver Disease.

Female adolescents, young adults have higher rates of liver-related mortality and a 50% higher risk for cirrhosis and decompensation after surviving their first presentation of alcoholic #hepatitis.

Important study by the TSwift of hepatology @ebtapper published in @AmJGastro

[Elliot Tapper @ebtapper]

Do PPIs cause harms in cirrhosis?

Observational data say yes.
But causality remains a question.
What about deprescribing?
How about a trial?

We emulated one: https://t.co/mzWZBbkKU3
1⃣Small benefits possible
2⃣Return to PPI common
3⃣Deprescibing is a continual process
