@ArpanPatelMD @nicole_rich8 @CirrhosisCareAB @SuchitaSata @PTBCN I made a QR code that links to the https://t.co/Eo7tH9tayJ site so when I see a patient or caregiver they can just scan the QR code with their ever-present phone. It’s a great resource.

You may prescribe your patients w/cirrhosis NSBBs to lower the risk of developing complications. They may need to check BP and pulse regularly among other things! Prescribe info & resources about NSBBs and other medications at https://t.co/ASq55uJgbM

Qualitative research is a crucial tool of medical science. It is a shame many of the highest impact general medicine journals publish virtually no qualitative research. This impedes the development of medical science.

[PT @PTBCN]

This is a really cool way you can "prescribe" education to every patient with cirrhosis you see! It literally takes 2 minutes and patients have loved it :)! Check it out when you have a moment.

[Cirrhosis Care Alberta @CirrhosisCareAB]

One way patients can care for their liver is by following a liver-friendly diet! On https://t.co/dTG5GTQKMN patients will find recipes for common meals w/videos from a chef to follow along & get the most out of their meal.

Look below for how to prescribe these resources today!

Great work @analimonmiro! It is time to rethink how we accurately determine energy needs in our patients with cirrhosis.

[Ana Teresa Limon-Miro @analimonmiro]

Predicted estimates of resting energy expenditure have limited clinical utility in patients with #cirrhosis
