Then the multivariable logistic regression analysis found that the CP ratio [odds ratio (OR): 0.051, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.006–0.432, p = 0.006], BMI (OR: 1.245, 95%CI: 1.062–1.460, p = 0.007), and AST (OR: 1.028, 95%CI: 1.002–1.054, p = 0.034) were independently associated with the presence of NASH (Table 3). Here, CP is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
