About this trial

This study enrolled 228 patients with MASLD-related cirrhosis confirmed by histopathology or clinical diagnosis. Follow-up was conducted every 3-6 months. The primary endpoint was cumulative incidence of liver-related events (including decompensation events, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation, and liver-related mortality) and all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included cumulative incidence of metabolic events and changes in non-invasive fibrosis markers.
