The intelligent Liver Function Testing (iLFT) platform automatically determines which patients should get follow-on testing and, if needed, subsequent referral to secondary care.
The intelligent Liver Function Testing platform can improve diagnosis and management of chronic liver disease in a primary care setting, new data show. At the European Association for the Study of the Liver Congress 2024, researchers presented 5-year, real-world data of the iLFT platform from its use in NHS Tayside in Dundee, Scotland, which serves a population of 400,000. The platform has been available since 2018.
Further testing generated 20,895 outcomes, of which, isolated abnormal alanine transaminase without fibrosis was most frequent . Abnormal ALT was found to be most likely due to metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease .In addition, 20% of cascaded tests identified potentially significant liver fibrosis.
A total of 69.9% of outcomes recommended that patients could be safely managed in primary care. The inclusion of automatic Enhanced Liver Fibrosis testing in 2020 further reduced the requirement for referral to secondary care by 34%.
