- Hypertension is a significant risk factor for advanced fibrosis and at-risk MASH in male MASLD patients.
- No significant risk factor was identified for female MASLD patients.
- Advanced fibrosis incidence increases with three or more positive cardiometabolic criteria.
- At-risk MASH incidence rises stepwise with the number of positive cardiometabolic criteria.
- The ELF test outperforms FIB-4 index and NFS in diagnosing advanced fibrosis, except for hypertension cases.
- The ELF test maintains superior diagnostic performance regardless of the number of positive cardiometabolic criteria.
- MASLD patients with hypertension or multiple cardiometabolic criteria are at higher risk for advanced fibrosis or at-risk MASH.
