BMP8A and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: In order to improve the accuracy of advanced fibrosis detection, we combined serum BMP8A levels with other clinically relevant variables and, based on the formula from multivariate logistic regression model, we developed an algorithm called BMP8A fibrosis score (BFS) combining circulating BMP8A (OR = 2.15 for each 100 pg/mL, p = 0.002) with age (OR = 1.07, p = 0.02) and platelet count (OR = 0.99, p = 0.07) which had an excellent performance to predict advanced fibrosis in our NASH patients (AUROC = 0.818, p ˂ 0.0001).
