P1013 : Chronic intermittent hypoxia is associated with liver damage and atherosclerosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
2015
all the steatosis grades, except S2 vs S3. The diagnostic performances of CAP in quantifying each steatosis grade was: for S ≥1 AUC=0.813 (cutoff 260dB/m, Se = 64.84%, Sp =87.27%, PPV=80.8%, NPV=75%, +LR =5.09, −LR =0.40, DA=76.11%); for S ≥2 AUC=0.822 (cutoff 285dB/m, Se = 69.70%, Sp =85.12%, PPV=47.9%, NPV=93.5%, +LR =4.68, −LR =0.36, DA=82.08%); for S ≥3 AUC=0.838 (cutoff 294dB/m, Se =83.33%, Sp =82.54%, PPV=23.3%, NPV=98.7%, +LR =4.77, −LR =0.20, DA=81.59%). AUCs calculated between two steatosis grades only were: 0.772 (for S0 vs S1), 0.874 (S0 vs S2), 0.904 (S0 vs S3), 0.659 (S1 vs S2), 0.777 (S1 vs S3), and 0.665 (S2 vs S3) respectively. Conclusions: Maximal diagnostic accuracy could …

Visceral adiposity index and exercise in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: authors’ reply
2012
We thank Prof. Filik for his interest in our recent article. 2 He points to the fact that the interpretation of our results could be affected by lack of data on physical activity and diet. In response to this issue, we are aware that both physical activity and diet are able to affect not only anthropometric and metabolic parameters of visceral adiposity index (VAI) but also the severity of liver disease. Unfortunately, data on both physical activity and diet in our patients with biopsy-proven non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are not available, even if we are confident that their variations should not significantly affect our results. In fact, in our study, we evaluated histological…

GEMS, a GEnetic and Metabolic Staging predicting the outcome of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
2021
Background and Aim: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is an emergent cause of liver-related events(LRE). We have assessed the ability of a composite score based on clinical features, metabolic comorbidities and genetic background, to predict LRE. Methods: 546 consecutive patients with NAFLD were recruited and stratified according to FIB-4(low risk <1.3;intermedium-high risk ≥1.3). LRE were defined as occurrence of HCC or hepatic decompensation. Cox regression multivariate analysis was used to identify baseline variables associated with LRE. Results: Over a median follow-up of 73.8 months, 58 patients experienced LRE(only 1 in the cohort of patients with FIB-4 65 years(HR 17.96), plat…
