1Simple diagnostic algorithm identifying at-risk nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients needing specialty referral within the United States显示文摘BACKGROUND There is an urgent need to risk stratify patients with suspected nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and identify those with fibrotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.This study aims to apply a simple diagnostic algorithm to identify subjects with at-risk NAFLD in the general population.AIM To apply a simple diagnostic algorithm to identify subjects with at-risk NAFLD in the general population.METHODS Adult subjects were included from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database(2017-2018)if they had elevated alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and excluded if they had evidence of viral hepatitis or significant alcohol consumption.A fibrosis-4(FIB4)cutoff of 1.3 differentiated patients with low risk vs high risk disease.If patients had FIB4>1.3,a FAST score<0.35 ruled out advanced fibrosis.Patients with FAST>0.35 were referred to a specialist.The same algorithm was applied to subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).RESULTS Three thousand six hundred and sixty-nine patients were identified who met all inclusion and exclusion criteria.From this cohort,911(28.6%)patients had elevated ALT of which 236(22.9%)patients had elevated FIB4 scores≥1.3.Among patients with elevated FIB4 score,75(24.4%)had elevated FAST scores,ruling in advanced fibrosis.This accounts for 2.0%of the overall study population.Applying this algorithm to 737 patients with T2DM,213(35.4%)patients had elevated ALT,85(37.9%)had elevated FIB4,and 42(46.1%)had elevated FAST scores.This accounts for 5.7%of the population with T2DM.CONCLUSION The application of this algorithm to identify at-risk NAFLD patients in need for specialty care is feasible and demonstrates that the vast majority of patients do not need subspecialty referral for NAFLD.Naim Alkhouri Pankaj Aggarwal Phuc Le Julia Payne Celine Sakkal Prido Polanco Stephen Harrison Mazen Noureddin 2022World Journal of Hepatology2022,14,8:0
