Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterized by steatosis, lobular inflammation, fibrosis and hepato-cellular ballooning, is set to become the leading cause of liver transplantation in the US, in the upcoming years.

The Patterns of Practice in NASH and EXpectations for Therapies (POP NEXT) intercontinental survey aims to publish an expert position paper based on the current and future management of patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

This intercontinental survey involves liver specialists from 8 countries: France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Romania, Spain, UK and USA in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of NASH management, taking account of the diversity of the disease and health care systems.

We would value your professional experience to answer an online questionnaire covering fields from diagnosis to expectations for future treatments to come.

The anonymised results will be analysed and reported in aggregate only, and all responses will be completely confidential.

The Steering Committee thank you for your kind involvement and your precious contribution to this project, which has the potential to improve knowledge and future practice in NASH management.

President's foreword

Dear colleagues and partners,

It is my distinct honor to address the welcome message on behalf of the co-founders of the Romanian Association for Liver Diseases (RoALD).

Six years ago, we put great efforts into launching Update on Hepatology Course as a major educational event in the field of hepatology in Romania. Over the coming years, a highly dynamic professional society has emerged around this growing event, composed of extremely dedicated and talented individuals with valuable contributions in the field.

In 2018, a small group of liver specialists decided to bring together those who can contribute to the field in a structured medical community of health care professionals and scientists acting to prevent and cure liver disease. We are all working hard to ensure that our society will soon become a large forum for specialists in liver diseases.

Our aim has remained to deliver updated knowledge, to share opinions, initiatives and clinical experience, to build collaborative projects and to stimulate the implementation of an evidence-based approach, in order to ultimately improve the care and outcome of many people who suffer from liver diseases in Romania.

I am extremely proud to be a member and founder of an organization aiming to articulate and uphold the values of hepatology in Romania and I encourage you to become a member of RoALD, to play a critical role in its development and organization, to participate in the election of the Governing Board and to help build a strategic plan in hepatology that will be implemented over the next years.
