Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly common, and primary care physicians (PCPs) are often the first to diagnose NAFLD. While guidelines on NAFLD management in primary care exist, there are limited data on clinical practice patterns.#We gathered data from over 370,000 patients...
Increasing evidence suggests that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a metabolic syndrome-related disease; however, the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and OSA is not firmly established. In this study, we investigated the relationship between NAFLD and OSA in a general pop...
We performed a GWAS on the PDFF estimates (n = 36,116) using each individual’s first available MRI measurement. We also meta-analyzed GWASs on clinically diagnosed NAFL (International Classification of Disease, 10th revision (ICD-10)27, code K76.0), including 785 cases from Iceland (d...
ICD-9: International Classification of Diseases-9; JBI: Joanna briggs institute; LDL-C: Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; MCTQ: Munich Chronotype Questionnaire; METs: metabolic equivalents, MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging; NAFLD: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; PSQI: Pittsburgh sleep quality index...
Compared to participants with intermediate chronotype, those with extreme late chronotype had a higher likelihood of high DSI defined NAFLD (OR 1.45 (1.34–1.56)) and a higher likelihood of NAFLD/NASH by ICD10 code (OR 1.23 (1.09–1.39)). Hepatic PDFF was elevated in irregular shift workers...
Secondary diagnoses of GDM included confirmation of medical record review using specific codes such as the International Classification of Disease (ICD)-10 codes O24.4 and O24.9, or through patient self-reported questionnaires. Outcome ascertainment—identify non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) ...
Administrative coding for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is accurate in Swedish patientsConclusions: The ICD-10 code for NAFLD had a high PPV, that was further improved after exclusion of patients with coding for other liver diseases than NAFLD. This approach should be preferred when performing ...
Objective The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis is often underestimated in healthcare and administrative databases that define disease burden using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. This retrospective audit was ...
NAFLD was defined by ICD-10 code, excluding other causes of liver disease. We calculated the overall and annual prevalence rates of NAFLD from 2014 to 2018, and compared NAFLD prevalence between sexes, age groups, mental disorders types, antipsychotics use, and comorbidities. Multivariable logistic...
The raised prevalence of obesity has increased the incidence of obesity-related metabolic diseases such as dyslipidemia (DL) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), along with the development and progression of various types of cancer, including thyroid cancer. In this study, we investigated...
