“…In epidemiological investigations, it is assumed that in developed countries, people with signs and symptoms of cirrhosis will visit the hospital. Hence, hospital admissions data can be used to estimate the incidence of cirrhosis in developed countries with access to health care [47,48]. A model with a covariate for health care access can then be used to estimate the prevalence of cirrhosis in areas of the world with nonexistent hospital data or low health system access.…”

Áfengistengd skorpulifur var mun algengari í Svíþjóð (50%) en á Íslandi (29%) auk þess sem skorpulifur vegna lifrarbólgu C var algengari í Svíþjóð (21%) en á Íslandi (8%).…”

“…Helstu undirliggjandi orsakir skorpulifrar í Noregi voru svipaðar þeim sem sáust í Svíþjóð en áfengistengd skorpulifur var til staðar hjá 53% norskra skorpulifrarsjúklinga og lifrarbólga C hjá 10%. 18 Í Noregi er fjöldi líffaeragjafa mestur á Norðurlöndunum og bið-tími eftir lifur mjög stuttur í alþjóðlegum samanburði, en meðal-biðtími fyrir tímabilið 2007-2012 var rúmlega mánuður.…”
