Characteristics and long-term mortality of individuals with MASLD, MetALD, and ALD, and the utility of SAFE Score

The new nomenclature of steatotic liver disease (SLD) was recently launched with sub-classifications of metabolic dysfunction-associated SLD (MASLD), MASLD with increased alcohol intake (MetALD), and alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). Herein, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics and long-term outcomes associated with these subgroups and the utility of non-invasive biomarkers.
