This PhD will evaluate the current state of cirrhosis care in Australia. Part one aims to determine the community prevalence of cirrhosis in a general practice cohort and assess the proportion of patients that have been already diagnosed. Part two will evaluate if patients with established compensated cirrhosis are receiving appropriate care and if not assess barriers to care. Part three will evaluate biomarkers to predict the risk of decompensation in patients with established cirrhosis.
