Declining or Waning
- Traditional Alcohol-Related Liver Disease Research:
There has been a noticeable decline in papers specifically focused on traditional alcohol-related liver disease, as newer research trends emphasize metabolic liver diseases and their associated comorbidities. - Basic Science and Animal Models:
Studies relying heavily on basic science and animal models are becoming less frequent, with a shift towards clinical research and real-world evidence that informs practice directly. - Outdated Diagnostic Methods:
Research focused on older diagnostic methodologies, such as invasive liver biopsies, seems to be declining, with more emphasis on non-invasive techniques and biomarkers for liver disease assessment. - Hepatitis E Research:
While hepatitis E remains important, the number of studies specifically addressing this virus has decreased, possibly due to a growing focus on more prevalent viruses like hepatitis B and C.
