Summary: | This study investigates the applicability of the new metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) nomenclature to the real-world TARGET-NASH US adult cohort.
The new MASLD/metabolic steatohepatitis nomenclature was applied to patients enrolled with pragmatic diagnoses of nonalcoholic fatty liver and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and NASH cirrhosis and concordance were determined between the definitions.
Approximately 99% of TARGET-NASH participants met the new MASLD diagnostic criteria. Approximately 1,484/1,541 (96.3%, kappa 0.974) nonalcoholic fatty liver patients (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver), 2,195/2,201 (99.7%, kappa 0.998) NASH patients (metabolic steatohepatitis), and 1,999/2,003 (99.8%, kappa 0.999) NASH cirrhosis patients met the new criteria.
The new MASLD nomenclature is highly concordant with the previous TARGET-NASH pragmatic definitions. |
