  "abstract": "Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a leading cause of global deaths. Rising levels of obesity and alcohol consumption, along with the availability of highly effective therapies for viral hepatitis B and C, have altered the cause of liver disease mortality, especially in Western countries, where most liver-related deaths are now attributable to alcohol. Once cirrhosis develops, liver disease is the primary cause of death and liver-related complications including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal haemorrhage and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma severely impact quality of life. The heterogeneity of CLD makes care delivery complex. Several models have been proposed to improve accuracy of diagnosis and risk stratification of cirrhosis, increase access to care, reduce hospital admissions and improve quality of life for people with cirrhosis. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the published models of care for people with cirrhosis from a global perspective and suggest future directions on how we can improve care delivery for people with cirrhosis.",
