Sex Differences in Risk of Adverse Liver Events in Patients With Cirrhosis

The findings of this cohort study of adult patients with cirrhosis suggest that significant sex differences in liver complication risk exist, which was more pronounced in nonviral (alcohol-related liver disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) compared with viral (HBV and HCV) cirrhosis. Sex disparities should be taken into consideration in future guidelines and programs for disease monitoring, prevention, and treatment of patients with cirrhosis.
