LiverScreen | Changing the paradigm of diagnosis for Chronic Liver Diseases
lopd@vhir.org or https://vhir.vallhebron.com/
Change of data controller. Joint responsibility of participating centres.
This is a research study evaluating the utility and feasibility of a screening method to detect liver fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness in the European population. The main objective of the study is to assess the prevalence of liver fibrosis in the general population using FibroScan®, a simple, non-invasive and widely used method that measures liver stiffness and identifies hepatic fibrosis. Part of the data will be sent in a coded form to Echosens, the French manufacturer of FibroScan®. Echosens will use these data internally to improve the FibroScan® technique for detecting liver fibrosis in the general population. This data transfer will ensure patient confidentiality at the level of protection required by current Spanish legislation.
This is a non-commercial research study designed and conducted by the LiverScreen Consortium, a European consortium comprising seven countries: Spain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom.
