Baseline variables in Type 2 Diabetes Patients with or without Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease, while non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease, which canprogress to more severe liver diseases such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Approximately 50%-70% of T2DM patients also haveNAFLD. Traditional diagnostic methods like liver biopsy have limitations, making largescale screening difficult. In the past decade, machine learning have emerged as crucial tools for assisting in NAFLD diagnosis.

2型糖尿病（T2DM）是一种慢性代谢性疾病，而非酒精性脂肪性肝病（NAFLD）是最为常见的慢性肝病，其可进展为更为严重的肝脏疾病，如肝纤维化、肝硬化和肝细胞癌。大约有50%-70%的2型糖尿病患者合并患有NAFLD。传统的诊断方法如肝活检存在局限性，使得大规模筛查变得困难。在过去十年中，机器学习技术已逐渐成为辅助NAFLD诊断的关键工具。
