Two‐Step Machine Learning Model Enhances Identification of High‐Risk Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease
A machine learning-based stepwise diagnostic strategy, prioritising fibrosis assessment first, significantly improves identification of high-risk MASLD (F ≥ 2 + NAS ≥ 5). This validated approach enhances risk stratification accuracy, reduces reliance on biopsy, and offers strong clinical applicability for optimising management. Findings support integrating sequential AI diagnostics into clinical practice and future guidelines.
