Alcoholic Liver Disease/Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Index for Classification of Patients with Steatotic Liver Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Steatotic liver disease (SLD) encompasses metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and alcohol-associated liver disease (AALD) at extremes as well as an overlap group termed MASLD with increased alcohol intake (MetALD). The Alcoholic Liver Disease/Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Index (ANI) was proposed to differentiate ALD from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We analysed the performance of the ANI in differentiating within the SLD spectrum.

Methods

In a cross-sectional study at a tertiary care center, 202 adults (>18 years) who were prospectively diagnosed with SLD defined by magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction >6.4% were enrolled. Alcohol consumption (AC) was recorded according to thresholds for significant A
