Abstract

Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of pathologies characterized by liver damage without history of excessive alcohol intake. Advanced fibrosis, generally detected by transient elastography (TE), is the most significant predictor of poor prognosis and mortality among these patients. This study aimed at assessing the accuracy of five noninvasive methods, compared to TE, for the evaluation of severity of liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. Methods The cohort included 41 patients, in whom the result of TE was compared to AST/ALT ratio, BARD Score (Body Mass Index, AST/ALT ratio, diabetes), AST To Platelet Ratio Index (APRI), Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4 Index) and NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS). Results The severity of fibrosis, assessed by TE, was the following: F0 (absence of fibrosis): 17%, F1 (mild): 39%, F2 (moderate): 17%, F3 (advanced): 10%, F4 (cirrhosis): 17%. Performances of the diagnostic scores were: 49% for AST/ALT ratio, 68% for BARD Score, 73% for APRI, 59% and 71% for the lower and upper cut-off of FIB-4 Index, 61% and 76% for the lower and upper cut-off of NFS. Conclusions Considering the scores compared to TE, AST/ALT ratio was not enough sensitive, while BARD Score had better diagnostic performance and APRI had a superior accuracy than the formers. However, FIB-4 and NFS were the most useful tests and their performance could be improved through the use of a single cut-off. These findings demonstrated that the most accurate scores, compared to TE, were NFS and FIB-4.

Abstract

Clinical features and natural history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) differ widely among different countries and during different phases of the pandemia. Here, we aimed to evaluate the case fatality rate (CFR) and to identify predictors of mortality in a cohort of COVID-19 patients admitted to three hospitals of Northern Italy between March 1 and April 28, 2020. All these patients had a confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection by molecular methods. During the study period 504/1697 patients died; thus, overall CFR was 29.7%. We looked for predictors of mortality in a subgroup of 486 patients (239 males, 59%; median age 71 years) for whom sufficient clinical data were available at data cut-off. Among the demographic and clinical variables considered, age, a diagnosis of cancer, obesity and current smoking independently predicted mortality. When laboratory data were added to the model in a further subgroup of patients, age, the diagnosis of cancer, and the baseline PaO2/FiO2 ratio were identified as independent predictors of mortality. In conclusion, the CFR of hospitalized patients in Northern Italy during the ascending phase of the COVID-19 pandemic approached 30%. The identification of mortality predictors might contribute to better stratification of individual patient risk.
