About this study

Official title: Acceptability of Advanced Chronic Liver Disease Screening by Transient Elstography (Fibroscan ®) in Patients Hospitalised in Psychiatric Unit: a Single Center Prospective Study

Scares data exists concerning the prevalence of chronic liver diseases in people with psychiatric disorders.

There are still many barriers to screening and linkage to care for patients having somatic illness.

Moreover follow-up of these patients may be difficult because of poor access to care, sometimes marginalization, and insufficient compliance with health programs.

The aim of this study is to asses acceptability of of advanced chronic liver disease screening by transient elstography (Fibroscan ®) in patients hospitalised in a psychiatric unit.

Scares data exists concerning the prevalence of chronic liver diseases in people with psychiatric disorders.

There are still many barriers to screening and linkage to care for patients having somatic illness.

Moreover follow-up of these patients may be difficult because of poor access to care, sometimes marginalization, and insufficient compliance with health programs.

Transient elastography is a useful tool validated for early diagnosis advanced chronic liver disease.It is non-invasive, fast, and gives immediate results.

The aim of this study is to assess acceptability of of advanced chronic liver disease screening by transient elstography (Fibroscan ®) in patients hospitalised in psychiatric unit.

Moreover, we will estimate de prevalence of advanced chronic liver diseases according to specific causes in psychiatry unit We hypothesize that the fact of offering psichiatric patents a non-invasive analysis of hepatic fibrosis will improve the detection of serious liver diseases and linkage to care.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • non invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis by transient elastography (Fibroscan ®)Diagnostic test

    A Fibroscan will be performed and the result will be given to the patient. A follow-up will be organized in the event of a diagnosis of severe fibrosis. If the serologies for hepatitis B and C cannont be recovered, patient will be able to benfit from a rapid diagnostic orientation test (TROD) (minimally invasive capillary venous sampling at the fingertip) for these 2 serologies.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. acceptability of non invasive assessement of liver fibrosis by Fibroscan in psychiatric patients

    Number of patient who have agreed to do fibroscan screening among patient to whom it was offered.

    Measured: At Inclusion

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Prevalence of advanced liver disease in psychiatric patients

    Number of patient who are diagnosed with advanced liver disease among patient to whom it was offered.

    Measured: At inclusion

  2. prevalence of excessive alcohol or drug consumption in psychiatric patients

    Number of patient with excessive alcohol/drug consumption

    Measured: At inclusion

  3. prevalence of passed or active drug consumption (intraveinous, inhaled or sniffed) in psychiatric patients

    Number of patient with excessive alcohol/drug consumption

    Measured: At Inclusion

  4. prevalence of viral hepatitis in psychiatric patients

    Number of patient diagnosed with viral hepatitis B, D, C

    Measured: At Inclusion

  5. correlation between advanced chronic liver diseases and risk factors for liver diseases in psychiatric patients

    Number of patients with advanced chronic liver disease among those having risk factors for chronic liver disease

    Measured: 1 to 3 month after inclusion

  6. assessment of referral to medical care when advanced fibrosis was diagnosed, regardless of its etiology

    Number of patients that have actually came to their medical appoint after advanced fibrosis diagnosis

    Measured: 1 to 3 month after inclusion

  7. reason for refusal of non invasive evaluation of chronic liver disease

    rate of reasons of refusal according to reason of hospitalization, sector, duration of hospitalization, time spend in study explaination, patient reflection time

    Measured: At Inclusion

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
