Core Tip |
The prevalence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in Japanese morbidly obese patients is extremely high, and early intervention should be undertaken. However, it is difficult to perform a percutaneous liver biopsy or elastography in routine medical care, especially in morbidly obese patients. We therefore attempted to construct a non-invasive prediction algorithm in order to predict NASH in Japanese morbidly obese patients using artificial intelligence with rule extraction technology. Although further studies with larger numbers of patients are needed to confirm the results, this algorithm may be useful for non-invasively predicting NASH in morbidly obese Japanese patients in the clinical setting. |
