Is Steatotic Liver Disease Related to Poor Outcome in COVID-19-Hospitalized Patients?

: Steatotic liver disease (SLD) has been linked to more exacerbated inflammatory responses in various scenarios. The relationship between SLD and COVID-19 prognosis remains unclear. Our aim was to investigate the impact of SLD on the outcome of COVID-19.

Liver injury predicts overall mortality in severe COVID-19: a prospective multicenter study in Brazil.

Background/purpose: The relationship between liver injury and mortality remains unclear in patients with COVID-19. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of aminotransferases levels at hospital admission to predict mortality in patients with COVID-19.

Methods And Results: This prospective study included 406 patients [57% male, aged 56 years] with COVID-19 hospitalized in 26 centers in Brazil.
