Feature selection resulted in 8 most discriminative predictors—their values significantly differ across the MASLD(+) and MASLD(-) groups (Table 1 and Supplementary Fig. S1): age, BMI, type of DM, alanine aminotransaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransaminase (AST), platelet count, treatment with metformin, and hyperuricemia (13). Here, GPT is linked to hyperuricemia.
