Regional differences in care of cirrhotic patients in Internal Medicine: Results of a nationwide FADOI survey

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: All patients with liver disease are entitled to equitable high-quality care under the Italian National Health Service (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale, SSN); however, regional differences in access to specialty outpatient and inpatient services are common, and inter-regional “migration” for health care is a well-known phenomenon [1]. In Italy, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases has placed a heavy burden on the SSN and Internal Medicine units in particular, requiring adaptive and collaborative more sustainable approaches to healthcare [2].
