Clinical Trial Summary

Scares data exists concerning the prevalence of chronic liver diseases in people with psychiatric disorders.

There are still many barriers to screening and linkage to care for patients having somatic illness.

Moreover follow-up of these patients may be difficult because of poor access to care, sometimes marginalization, and insufficient compliance with health programs.

The aim of this study is to asses acceptability of of advanced chronic liver disease screening by transient elstography (Fibroscan ®) in patients hospitalised in a psychiatric unit.

Description:

Scares data exists concerning the prevalence of chronic liver diseases in people with psychiatric disorders.

There are still many barriers to screening and linkage to care for patients having somatic illness.

Moreover follow-up of these patients may be difficult because of poor access to care, sometimes marginalization, and insufficient compliance with health programs.

Transient elastography is a useful tool validated for early diagnosis advanced chronic liver disease.It is non-invasive, fast, and gives immediate results.

The aim of this study is to assess acceptability of of advanced chronic liver disease screening by transient elstography (Fibroscan ®) in patients hospitalised in psychiatric unit.

Moreover, we will estimate de prevalence of advanced chronic liver diseases according to specific causes in psychiatry unit We hypothesize that the fact of offering psichiatric patents a non-invasive analysis of hepatic fibrosis will improve the detection of serious liver diseases and linkage to care.

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• non invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis by transient elastography (Fibroscan ®)
A Fibroscan will be performed and the result will be given to the patient. A follow-up will be organized in the event of a diagnosis of severe fibrosis. If the serologies for hepatitis B and C cannont be recovered, patient will be able to benfit from a rapid diagnostic orientation test (TROD) (minimally invasive capillary venous sampling at the fingertip) for these 2 serologies.
