Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Liver Fibrosis
Psychiatric Disorder
Psychiatric Hospitalization
Advanced Chronic Liver Disease
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: non invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis by transient elastography (Fibroscan ®)
Registration Number
NCT05602870
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Montpellier
Brief Summary

Scares data exists concerning the prevalence of chronic liver diseases in people with psychiatric disorders.

There are still many barriers to screening and linkage to care for patients having somatic illness.

Moreover follow-up of these patients may be difficult because of poor access to care, sometimes marginalization, and insufficient compliance with health programs.

The aim of this study is to asses acceptability of of advanced chronic liver disease screening by transient elstography (Fibroscan ®) in patients hospitalised in a psychiatric unit.

Detailed Description

Scares data exists concerning the prevalence of chronic liver diseases in people with psychiatric disorders.

There are still many barriers to screening and linkage to care for patients having somatic illness.

Moreover follow-up of these patients may be difficult because of poor access to care, sometimes marginalization, and insufficient compliance with health programs.

Transient elastography is a useful tool validated for early diagnosis advanced chronic liver disease.It is non-invasive, fast, and gives immediate results.

The aim of this study is to assess acceptability of of advanced chronic liver disease screening by transient elstography (Fibroscan ®) in patients hospitalised in psychiatric unit.

Moreover, we will estimate de prevalence of advanced chronic liver diseases according to specific causes in psychiatry unit We hypothesize that the fact of offering psichiatric patents a non-invasive analysis of hepatic fibrosis will improve the detection of serious liver diseases and linkage to care.
