Patients with decompensated cirrhosis struggle with significant physical and psychological symptoms, resulting in poor health related quality of life. The only curative treatment is liver transplantation, which is not a viable option for most who suffer from cirrhosis. Palliative care (PC), an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families through the prevention and relief of suffering (WHO), is becoming increasingly recognized as an important care model to provide alongside standard medical treatment for patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Recent survey studies have shown that most hepatologists support early PC intervention for patients with end stage liver disease (Ufere) and many desire more education on management of physical and psychological symptoms (Whitsett). As such, a recent AASLD Guidance was published supporting early integration of PC for all patients with advanced liver disease and summarizing approaches to communication and complex symptom management (Rogal). The purpose of this AASLD LiverLearning program is to provide clinically applicable, high yield education regarding the most important facets of PC for patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Authors of each module represent highly published experts in the field from multiple disciplines, including gastroenterology, transplant hepatology, nursing, oncology, and palliative care.
