NPR is an independent risk factor for predicting all-cause mortality in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: evidence from NHANES 2007–2020

Neutrophil-associated inflammatory markers are independently associated with MASLD and ALF. Specifically, the ln-transformed NHR and SII show promise as diagnostic markers for MASLD and ALF, respectively. Moreover, elevated ln-transformed NPR is independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in individuals with MASLD, highlighting the potential clinical relevance of these inflammatory markers in the context of steatotic liver disease.
