LIVERSTAT for risk stratification for patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.

Background And Aim: LIVERSTAT is an artificial intelligence-based noninvasive test devised to screen for and provide risk stratification for metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) by using simple blood biomarkers and anthropometric measurements. We aimed to study LIVERSTAT in patients with MAFLD and to explore its role for the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of data from MAFLD patients who underwent a liver biopsy.

Hepatic steatosis and metabolic risk factors among patients with chronic hepatitis B: The multicentre, prospective CAP-Asia study.

We aimed to compare the severity of liver disease, metabolic profile and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with and without hepatic steatosis and patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Patients with NAFLD and CHB were prospectively enrolled from 10 Asian centres. Fibroscan was performed for all patients and hepatic steatosis was defined based on controlled attenuation parameter >248 dB/m.
