The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with chronic liver disease: Results from the Global Liver Registry
Patients with preexisting chronic liver disease (CLD) may experience a substantial burden from both coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection and pandemic-related life disruption. We assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with CLD. Patients enrolled in our Global Liver Registry were in...

We assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with CLD. Patients enrolled in our Global Liver Registry were invited to complete a COVID-19 survey. As of June 2021, 2500 patients (mean age +/- SD, 49 +/- 13 years; 53% men) from seven countries completed the survey. Of all survey completers, 9.3% had COVID-19. Of these patients, 19% were hospitalized, 13% needed oxygen support, but none required mechanical ventilation.

On a self-assessed Likert health score scale (range, 1-10; 10 indicates perfect health), patients with a COVID-19 history scored lower (mean +/- SD, 6.7 +/- 2.2 vs. 7.4 +/- 2.2, respectively; p < 0.0001) despite reporting similar health scores if there was no pandemic (mean +/- SD, 8.5 +/- 1.4 vs. 8.4 +/- 1.6, respectively; p = 0.59).
