The journey of MASLD: Tracking resolution, relapse, and predictive factors after sleeve gastrectomy and one-anastomosis gastric bypass, a propensity score-matched cohort study

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

This study found no significant differences in MASLD resolution and relapse rates between SG and OAGB. Key factors influencing MASLD outcomes included the percentage of hepatic steatosis, 12-month EWL%, Pre-Op FM%, and age.

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

median follow-up 2.2 years (IQR: 1.0-3.3)

Overall MASLD resolution rate

71.1 per 1000 person-month

Overall MASLD relapse rate

8.7 per 1000 person-month

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Predictors of MASLD resolution

Lower % hepatic steatosis, higher 12-month EWL% and younger age were significant resolution predictors

Predictors of MASLD relapse

Increased % liver steatosis, higher pre-operative (Pre-Op) FM% and older age were significant relapse predictors
