Core Tip	Preliminary data on causes of death during the pandemic suggest that mortality from chronic liver disease (CLD) increased especially in countries where the alcoholic etiology was predominant, or with a pre-pandemic growing trend in mortality from alcoholic liver disease. Population-based studies on the direct and the indirect effects of the pandemic on CLD mortality are strongly warranted. Analyses adopting the multiple cause-of-death approach might be better suited to fully investigate the impact of the pandemic on complex long-term pre-existing trends.
