I like hepatology and clinical epidemiology - especially in combination.
Here is an update on the cirrhosis epidemiology in Denmark:
doi.org/10.1016/j.jh...
* Median age at cirrhosis diagnosis up from 56y in 1998 to 66y in 2022 * Proportion with ALD cirrhosis down from 80% to 58% * Prevalence of cirrhosis peaked in 2024 * Survival has improved

JHEP Reports has published our update cirrhosis epidemiology in Denmark:

Here's my version of a graph originally by the British Liver Trust showing how rates of liver disease deaths in England & Wales have almost quadrupled since 1968, while other leading causes of death have fallen. In spite of working in alcohol research for 13+ years, this still surprised me...
