Calculation of mean research attention to the four major liver diseases. The mean research attention to the four main liver diseases (HBV, HCV, NAFLD and ALD) was calculated from five parameters: scientific publications (PubMed); research opportunities offered by public agencies in the USA and the EU; ongoing registered clinical trials (ClinicalTrials.gov); detailed analysis of all presentations at the two major annual scientific liver meetings (AASLD and EASL); and number of drugs in development in the pipeline of 38 major pharmaceutical companies. AASLD, American Association Study of Liver Diseases; ALD, alcoholic liver disease; EASL, European Association for the Study of the Liver; EU, European Union; HBV, hepatitis B virus; HCV, hepatitis C virus; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
