Summary
This trial will test whether the CCAB improves patient outcomes.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with a clinical diagnosis of cirrhosis, confirmed by radiology, histology or fibroscan, who are admitted to a study hospital site. It's not open to those without cirrhosis.
What is being tested?
The CCAB program aims to improve care quality and reduce hospital visits for liver cirrhosis patients through evidence-based management practices including support for alcohol use, frailty assessment, advance care planning and structured transitions from home to hospital and back.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves implementing best practice guidelines rather than medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, changes in care may lead to adjustments in patient experience.
