“For patients living with liver disease, this report is long overdue. Too many people across Europe are still being diagnosed too late, when treatment options are limited and outcomes are poor. The Commission’s recommendations, on earlier detection, integrated care, and tackling the root causes of disease, reflect what patients and their families have been asking for. We now urge policymakers to move from words to action, because for the people we represent, time is not a luxury.” @Marko_Korenjak , President, European Liver Patients Association (ELPA) 🔗 thelancet.com/commissions-do… 📍 Launch of the EASL–Lancet Commission, today in Brussels and online

EASL is deeply saddened by the loss of Dr Ahmed Elsharkawy, consultant transplant hepatologist, researcher, educator and valued member of the EASL Governing Board. Ahmed served EASL with honesty, courage and a deep commitment to the community he cared so much about. He was never afraid to speak up when it mattered, always guided by a strong sense of fairness and integrity. His leadership helped shape important initiatives that will continue to benefit the liver community for years to come. Beyond his professional achievements, Ahmed will be remembered for his warmth, humour and generosity as a colleague and friend. Our thoughts are with his wife Sarah, his children, his family and all those who knew and worked with him. @DebbieShawcros1 @analleo

🗞️News from A-TANGO! We celebrate a new consortium publication by Cornelius Engelmann et al. (2026) that introduces the A-TANGO organ failure (OF) score, a refined tool for diagnosing acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in patients with cirrhosis and acute decompensation. Developed using data from 3,896 patients in Europe and Latin America and validated in large cohorts from India and China, the score updates thresholds for organ dysfunction and adds a new ACLF grade 4 to better capture severely ill patients. Compared with the widely used CLIF-C OF score, A-TANGO improves detection of ACLF (24% to 36%) while maintaining strong prediction of 28- and 90-day mortality. The study also introduces two related prognostic models. Together, these tools provide a more accurate framework for risk stratification, treatment evaluation, and the design of clinical trials in ACLF. 👉Read the publication here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
