Popis: The impact of circulating microRNA‐122 (miR‐122) on mortality in patients with histopathologically confirmed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains unclear. We analyzed the overall survival rates in 441 Japanese patients with histopathologically confirmed NAFLD after a median follow‐up period of 4.7 years. We also determined the clinicopathologic, genetic, and epigenetic parameters, including serum miR‐122 levels, for prediction of mortality. Of the 441 study patients, 21 (4.8%) died during the follow‐up period. The cumulative survival rates were 95.4% and 90.6% at the end of 5 and 10 years, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified history of liver cancer (presence; hazard ratio [HR], 4.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.84‐13.3), serum miR‐122 (
