Prognostic Model for MASLD Related Cirrhosis

Prior treatment

• 1\. Other chronic liver diseases (including but not limited to viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, autoimmune liver disease, Wilson's disease, hemochromatosis, etc.) 2. There has been a continuous history of heavy drinking for 3 months or more current or rencent 5 years (heavy drinking is defined as \>20 g/day in women and \>30 g/day in men); Or researchers can not reliably quantify alcohol consumption.
  • 3\. Hepatic decompensation events (including ascites, esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, etc.) or hepatocellular carcinomaor.
  • 4\. Previous (\<5 years before screening) treatment for obesity with surgery; 5. Have obesity induced by other endocrinologic disorders (i.e. Cushing Syndrome) genetic diseases; 6. Secondary factors that can cause liver steatosis, such as malnutrition, medication, genetic metabolic diseases, etc.
  • 7\. Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; 8. History of drug use or abuse of drugs within the 12 months prior to screening.
  • 9\. Pregnant or lactating women; 10. Researchers believe that patients who are not suitable to participate in this study.

• 1\. Men and women aged between 18 and 80 years (inclusive) who understand and sign informed consent forms; 2. Compensated MASLD-related cirrhosis diagnosis(meet one of the following conditions):
• The liver biopsy during the screening period (liver biopsy within 6 months of screening is acceptable) showing cirrhosis with steatohepatitis according to the Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Clinical Research Network (NASH-CRN) scoring system, and there is no evidence of competitive aetiology.
• The liver biopsy during the screening period (liver biopsy within 6 months of screening is acceptable) showing cirrhosis with steatosis (no steatohepatitis) according to NASH-CRN scoring system, and there is no evidence of competitive aetiology. There are at least 2 coexisting metabolic comorbidities or history of metabolic comorbidities, including overweight/obesity and/or prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
• Historical biopsy showed steatohepatitis, and now diagnosed with cirrhosis through non-invasive tests or clinical criteria (see criterion (6)-1)). There is no evidence of competing aetiology. There is at least 1 coexisting or history of metabolic comorbidity.
• Historical biopsy showed steatosis (no steatohepatitis), and now diagnosed with cirrhosis through non-invasive tests or clinical criteria (see criterion (6)-1)). There is no evidence of competing aetiology. There are at least 2 coexisting metabolic comorbidities or history of metabolic comorbidities, including overweight/obesity and/or prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
• 'Cryptogenic cirrhosis' (with no evidence of hepatic steatosis on both histopathology and imaging). There is no evidence of competing aetiology. There are at least 2 coexisting metabolic comorbidities or history of metabolic comorbidities, including overweight/obesity and/or prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
• MASLD-related cirrhosis is defined based on the following criterias:
  • Cirrhosis is defined based on one of the following non-invasive tests(NITS): i: MRE ≥ 5kPa or VCTE-LSM ≥ 20kPa; ii:VCTE ≥15 kPa and \<20 kPa and 1 of the following: MRE≥4.2kPa or Agile4≥0.565 or Platelets≤150,000/µL; iii: VCTE \<15 kPa and 2 of the following: MRE≥4.2kPa or Agile4≥0.565 or Platelets≤150,000/µL; b. Current or previous imaging examinations have diagnosed fatty liver or controlled attenuation parameter (CAP)≥288dB/m or magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF)≥5%.
  • There is no evidence of competing aetiology; d. There are at least 2 coexisting metabolic comorbidities or history of metabolic comorbidities, including overweight/obesity and/or prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
