Effect of diabetes medications and glycemic control on risk of hepatocellular cancer in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Jennifer R. Kramer et al.

Summary: Patients with NAFLD and diabetes have a high risk of developing HCC. The study found that the use of metformin was associated with a reduced risk of developing HCC, while combination therapy was associated with an increased risk. Glycemic control can be a useful biomarker for stratifying HCC risk in these patients.

Diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive tests for advanced fibrosis in patients with NAFLD: an individual patient data meta-analysis

Ferenc Emil Mozes et al.

Summary: Liver biopsy is still necessary for fibrosis staging in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of liver stiffness measurement, FIB-4 Index, and NAFLD Fibrosis Score, and showed that sequential combinations of markers can reduce the need for liver biopsies.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Advanced Liver Fibrosis in a Population-Based Study in Germany

Yvonne Huber et al.

Summary: This study explores liver enzymes and surrogate scores of hepatic steatosis and advanced hepatic fibrosis in the German population. The findings show that elevated liver enzymes were seen in almost a fifth of the German population, and the prevalence of advanced fibrosis was estimated at 1%.

Real-World Burden of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Andreas Geier et al.

Summary: In this study analyzing data from NASH patients in the United States, France, and Germany, it was found that NASH is associated with increased healthcare resource use and reduced HRQoL in symptomatic patients. The burden of NASH appears to be underestimated and further studies are needed to determine the burden of NASH by fibrosis stage and disease severity.

Definite and indeterminate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis share similar clinical features and prognosis: A longitudinal study of 1893 biopsy-proven nonalcoholic fatty liver disease subjects

Javier Ampuero et al.

Summary: The study investigated the distribution of NASH and its components across fibrosis stages, revealing a decrease in steatohepatitis prevalence in advanced liver disease. However, most patients still showed inflammatory activity and metabolic disturbances. The risk of cirrhosis progression was similar between NASH and indeterminate NASH patients.

A Placebo-Controlled Trial of Subcutaneous Semaglutide in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Philip N. Newsome et al.

Summary: This phase 2 trial demonstrated that treatment with semaglutide resulted in a significantly higher percentage of patients with NASH resolution compared to placebo in patients with NASH, but did not show a significant between-group difference in the percentage of patients with an improvement in fibrosis stage.

Healthcare resource utilization and costs among nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients in Germany

Ali Canbay et al.

Summary: In Germany, NAFLD patients are often underestimated, especially those with advanced liver diseases. Early identification and management strategies are crucial to prevent disease progression and limit the rising costs.
