HOMA‐IR: An independent predictor of advanced liver fibrosis in nondiabetic non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease

Although non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in the general population, identifying patients with advanced fibrosis remains a challenge. We investigated whether the homeostasis model assessment parameter of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), an index of IR and one of the most important metabolic factors, is an independent predictive factor for advanced fibrosis in nondiabetic patients with NAFLD.This was a retrospective,...
