Cirrhosis and mortality risks of biopsy‐verified alcoholic pure steatosis and steatohepatitis: a nationwide registry‐based study

Abstract

Patients with alcoholic fatty liver disease had markedly increased cirrhosis and mortality risks compared with a matched reference cohort. The cirrhosis risk was more than twice as high for the patients with steatohepatitis than for those with pure steatosis; and was higher for women than for men.
