Health Vitals News: CORE Score: New Blood Test for Early Detection of Severe Liver Disease

Health Vitals News reports on the CORE Score, a new blood test developed by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. This test accurately predicts the 10-year risk of severe liver disease, offering early detection and potentially improving patient outcomes. The CORE score combines five clinical parameters: age, sex, and blood levels of three liver enzymes, achieving 88% accuracy in identifying individuals at risk of severe liver disease within 10 years. This advancement could significantly change liver disease care by enabling early detection and intervention, though challenges remain in integrating the score into primary care.
