Everything you need to know about transitions of care from pediatrics to adult care for liver transplant recipients

Amazing leadership!
The impact factor for @HepCommJournal is 5.6
This is a 10% increase (5.1 in 2023), at a time when virtually all US journal impact factors fell. It is a sign of growth and a solid position. It is also due to the way that @jlouissaint89 promoted papers from before our teams tenure

Up to 25% of children needing a critical endoscopic procedure are admitted to children’s hospitals that don’t offer it. Research from @EPeritoMD and @sagarjpathak shows how insurance, location and race are linked to disparities in accessing advanced care. bit.ly/4d4Apj1
