Background & aims

The new nomenclature for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) requires presence of steatohepatitis in the context of at least one cardiometabolic risk.

Subjects had completed the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire for NAFLD/NASH (CLDQ-NAFLD/NASH) and other HRQL instruments (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue [FACIT-F], Short-Form 36 [SF-36]), and had available clinico-labo
