Cardiovascular Disease Risk Prediction in Patients With Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatohepatitis

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

We describe a first-in-kind predictive model to assess the risk of CVD in patients with MASH, which has the potential to more accurately inform the treatment and management of this population.
