Excerpt

Pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is characterized by acute onset of severe hepatic dysfunction resulting from various etiologies and can be potentially fatal. Timely etiological diagnosis and specific treatment, appropriate intensive care management with liver support care and early referral for liver transplantation (LT) in a subset with irreversible PALF remain the cornerstone of management. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
