The present cross-sec-tional study aims to present the first systematic screening results, focusing on two primary objectives: 1) establishing the prevalence of fibrosis and steatosis, and 2) identifying independent predictors for liver stiffness mea-surement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) values in this patient population.\r\nMaterials and Methods: Patients were eligible for inclusion if they had a confirmed diagnosis of psoriasis by a qualified dermatologist based on characteristic signs and symptoms and histopathological examination, and had undergone VCTE for LSM and CAP measurements.\r\nResults: The diagnosis of severe fibrosis and cirrhosis \u2013 identified by LSM values of 10.0\u221213.9 and \u226514.0 kPa, respectively \u2013 was significantly preva-lent (7.0% and 10.1%, respectively) among a sizeable cohort of relatively young Turkish patients with psoriasis (n=328; mean age: 49.5\u00b112.7 years). Additionally, severe steatosis, as diagnosed by VCTE and characterized by a CAP value exceeding 290 dB\/m, was identified in up to 43.3% of patients. Although body mass index (BMI) was the only variable found to be an in-dependently associated with LSM, multivariable linear regression analysis failed to identify any statistically independent predictor of CAP values.\r\nConclusion: The prevalence of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis in Turkish pa-tients with psoriasis is far from negligible, with BMI identified as an inde-pendent risk factor for fibrosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14744\/hf.2023.2023.0017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,17]],"date-time":"2024-01-17T08:19:32Z","timestamp":1705479572000},"page":"29-32","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Vibration-controlled transient elastography for non-invasive screening of liver fibrosis and steatosis in Turkish patients with psoriasis: A cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.14744","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-3587-7672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahsen Nihal","family":"Aksoy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkiye;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-2650-8706","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Burak","family":"Hanci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkiye;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0063-8798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet Furkan","family":"Baskent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkiye;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4605-5724","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emine Gul","family":"Umutlu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkiye;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8301-4789","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eda Nur","family":"Kumas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkiye;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3397-7702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suleyman Umit","family":"Emanet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkiye;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8011-7939","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet","family":"Oguz Yalcin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkiye;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8545-1219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zeynep","family":"Duzyol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marmara University School of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkiye;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4958-007X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayse Gulsen","family":"Teker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, Marmara University School of Medicine Istanbul, Turkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4518-5283","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yusuf","family":"Yilmaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Gastroenterology, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkiye; Department of Gastroenterology, Recep Tayyip Erdogan University School of Medicine, Rize, Turkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5966","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"container-title":["Hepatology Forum"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/file.paplino.com\/hepatologyforum\/pdfs\/1705414671-en.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/hepatologyforum.org\/storage\/upload\/pdfs\/1705414671-en.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,27]],"date-time":"2026-10-27T23:23:38Z","timestamp":1793143418000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/hepatologyforum.org\/articles\/HF-57643"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14744\/hf.2023.2023.0017","relation":{},"ISSN":["1307-5888","2757-7392"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1307-5888","type":"print"},{"value":"2757-7392","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}}}
