Abstrakt: Background: Few studies have examined the risk of long-term clinical outcomes in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis in relation to liver histology. We aimed to study this using a real-world cohort.
Methods: Adults (N = 702) recorded on Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Synthetic Derivative database (1984-2021) with evidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis on liver biopsy were followed from the first biopsy until the first clinical event or last database entry (median: 4.7 y). Risks of cirrhosis (N = 650), other noncirrhotic liver-related (N = 702) and cardiovascular-related outcomes (N = 660), and mortality due to liver, cardiovascular, or cancer events (N = 660) were determined as a function of baseline histology (fibrosis stage [F], lobular inflammation grade [LI], hepatocyte ballooning grade [HB], and steatosis score) adjusting for sex, age, diabetes, and weight-loss surgery.
Results: Cirrhosis risk was reduced for lower versus higher fibrosis stage (HR: F0-1 vs. F3: 0.22 [95% CI: 0.12-0.42]), LI1 versus LI2-3 (0.42 [0.19-0.97]), and HB1 versus HB2 (0.20 [0.08-0.50]). Lower fibrosis stage was associated with significantly lower risks of liver-related outcomes versus F4 cirrhosis (eg, F0-1: 0.12 [0.05-0.25]), whereas no differences were seen across baseline lobular inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning, and steatosis grades/scores. Lower versus higher lobular inflammation grade was associated with lower risks for liver-related outcomes in patients with weight-loss surgery. There was a trend for lower risks for cardiovascular-related and any long-term outcomes with lower versus higher fibrosis stage.
Conclusions: Fibrosis stage and lobular inflammation and hepatocyte ballooning grades predict the risk of long-term outcomes, supporting the use of these histological features as potential surrogate markers of disease progression or clinical outcomes.
