Abstract:

Objective To study the predictive value of FIB-4 index in patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD) complicated with colorectal adenomatous polyps. Methods Eligible 183 patients from Department of Gastroenterology, Jinzhou Central Hospital during May 2020 to June 2021 were enrolled. In accordance with pathological type, those with of hyperplastic or inflammatory polyps were included in the control group (44 cases), and those with adenomatous polyps in the adenoma group (139 cases), aiming to compare the interclass differences involving baseline information, FIB-4 index, the risk factors of MAFLD complicated with colorectal adenomatous polyps was analyzed by Multivariate logistic regression, and the predictive value of FIB-4 index for that were assessed by drawing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The adenoma group had older age, longer smoking history and diabetes history, elevated body mass index (BMI), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and FIB-4 (vs control group); while High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and Platelet count (PLT) in adenoma group were lower than those in control group, with statistical significance differences (P<0.05). The difference in drinking history, hypertension history, Fasting blood glucose(FBG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and uric acid (UA) between groups was no significant (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age, gender, BMI, AST and FIB-4 index were independent risk factors for MAFLD complicated with colorectal adenomatous polyps (P<0.05). The AUC of FIB-4 index risk assessment was 0.868, and the sensitivity and specificity were 67.6% and 90.9% respectively.Conclusion FIB-4 index should be attention due to its predictive value for MAFLD complicated with colorectal adenomatous polyps, which can help to identify the high-risk population of adenomatous polyps, early diagnosis and early treatment.
