COVID-Hep.net: Coronavirus (COVID-19) in liver disease reporting registry

The advent and pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV2, and its associated disease state COVID-19, is a major and developing international public health emergency. The spectrum of disease and factors that influence the disease course are incompletely defined.
We have established this universal and collaborative registry project to collect data on patients with liver disease at any stage or liver transplants who develop laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. We are pleased to encourage reports from worldwide. However, if reporting from the Americas or China/Japan/Korea, please see our collaborators at: SECURE-cirrhosis.
We wish to capture pre-cirrhotic patients, immunosuppressed liver patients, both compensated and decompensated cirrhotic patients, and those that have already been transplanted. We intend to capture data both for patients who are hospitalised or managed in the community.
Reporting a case takes around 5 minutes. We will be pleased to acknowledge all those who contribute in any publication and we intend to invite major contributors to join our authorship.
We hope that you will join us. Submit a Case Report here

COVID-Hep project aims

The COVID-Hep project aims to:
  • Allow for analysis of baseline characteristics associated with specific outcomes in COVID19 amongst those with liver disease.
  • Inform the hepatology community with regard to prognosis of COVID19 in their patients.
  • Inform liver patients of their potential risk.
  • Potentially identify signals that will guide future therapeutic research.
