Pathologic criteria for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: Interprotocol agreement and ability to predict liver-related mortality

Abstract

The original criteria for NAFLD subtypes and the current study's criteria for NASH were in almost perfect agreement, but their level of agreement with the NAS and Brunt criteria was lower. A diagnosis of NASH by the original criteria for NAFLD subtypes demonstrated the best predictability for LRM in NAFLD patients.
