Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index and genetic polymorphisms have been used in assessing the risk of liver-related events (LRE) in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). To establish a more efficient prediction strategy for LRE, we investigated a combined approach that uses the FIB-4 index and genetic polymorphisms. METHODS: We enrolled 1304 Japanese patients with...
