Résumé

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of advanced hepatic fibrosis and to individualize using Bayesian analysis its associated risk factors in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) being cared for in three Alsatian cardio-metabolic health networks in the North East of France. Overall, 712 patients aged ≥18 years with a female predominance were included into a prospective, cross-sectional, and observational study. Advanced fibrosis and severe steatosis were evaluated using transient elastography (FibroScan®). The proportion of MASLD patients was 80% and 84% in women and men (difference -4.2% [-10.0; 1.9]), respectively. Advanced fibrosis was observed in 11% of patients, being more common in men (16.9%) than women (7.5%) (difference 9.4 [4.3-15.0]). Severe steatosis was also more common in men (74.9%) than women (63.4%) (difference 11.4 [4.2-18.2]). Only three of the tested variables were likely associated with advanced fibrosis: gender (OR: 1.78 [1.17-2.68]; Pr [OR >1] = 1), T2DM (OR: 1.54 [1-2.37]; Pr [OR >1] = 0.97) and hypertriglyceridemia (OR: 1.49 [0.97-2.27]; Pr (OR >1) = 0.97). In conclusion, this study confirmed the usefulness of assessing hepatic fibrosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction. Therefore, access to FibroScan® should be facilitated in all cardio-metabolic health networks.
