Key Words Cirrhosis; Etiology; Complications; Ascites; Hepatitis C
Core Tip Effective treatment is now available for chronic hepatitis C, and as a result, hospitalisation of patients with hepatitis C-related cirrhosis is decreasing, while metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease is rapidly becoming one of the most common causes of cirrhosis requiring hospital admission to a major tertiary hospital in Australia. The phenotype of patients with cirrhosis is also shifting, with a decreasing incidence rate of ascites and hepatic encephalopathy and increasing incidence of non-variceal bleeding. Information on the shifting etiologies, phenotypes and prevalence of complications of cirrhosis is helpful for planning future resource allocation and devising novel ways of managing these patients.
