Bariatric surgery for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: A clinical and cost‐effectiveness analysis

Abstract: Surgery was both effective and cost-effective for obese patients with NASH, regardless of fibrosis stage; in overweight patients, surgery increased QALYs for all patients regardless of fibrosis stage, but was cost-effective only for patients with F3 fibrosis; our results highlight the promise of bariatric surgery for treating NASH and underscore the need for clinical trials in this area. (Hepatology 2017;65:1156-1164).

“…These findings are corroborated by the Lille data from France [227]. Using a state-transition model, Klebanoff et al [357] aimed to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of surgery or intensive lifestyle intervention to manage NASH. Both interventions increased QALYs compared to no intervention.…”

“…Bariatric surgery not only reduces cardiovascular mortality and all‐cause mortality, but also improves histological changes of NASH. However, its role in reversing liver fibrosis and reducing liver mortality remains unclear . Currently, there is no enough evidence to recommend bariatric surgery as the routine treatment of NASH.…”

“…Considerable disagreement exists between different guidelines regarding screening of general population for NAFLD because 1) only a small proportion of the general population has severe liver disease because of NAFLD though it is a common cause of CLD 20 , 2) type 2 diabetes is associated with higher prevalence of NAFLD, NASH and advanced fibrosis [21][22][23] , 3) effective drug treatment is not still available, 4) lack of sensitive diagnostic tests except liver biopsy which is a risky procedure and 5) cost-effective analysis are scarce 24 .…”
