Satapathy – 19 October 2021 – In order to determine the relationship between socioeconomic deprivation and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), we retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 1,430 patients in a large tertiary health care network in New York. These patients underwent liver biopsy over a 10‐year period and were included in our study if they had evidence of NAFLD/NASH on liver biopsy.
