Original description

This study enrolled 228 patients with MASLD-related cirrhosis confirmed by histopathology or clinical diagnosis. Follow-up was conducted every 3-6 months. The primary endpoint was cumulative incidence of liver-related events (including decompensation events, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation, and liver-related mortality) and all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included cumulative incidence of metabolic events and changes in non-invasive fibrosis markers.Read full original descriptionShow less

Prognostic Model for Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease Related Cirrhosis

This study enrolled 228 patients with MASLD-related cirrhosis confirmed by histopathology or clinical diagnosis. Follow-up was conducted every 3-6 months. The primary endpoint was cumulative incidence of liver-related events (including decompensation events, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation, and liver-related mortality) and all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included cumulative incidence of metabolic events and changes in non-invasive fibrosis markers.

Inclusion: 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).

Exclusion: 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; Hepatic decompensation events (including ascites, esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, etc.) or hepatocellular carcinomaor; 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; Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; 8. History of drug use or abuse of drugs within the 12 months prior to screening; Pregnant or lactating women; 10. Researchers believe that patients who are not suitable to participate in this study.
