Global epidemiology of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD or MAFLD: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Med 2024; 22:101. [PMID: 38448943 PMCID: PMC10919055 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03315-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) shares common pathophysiological mechanisms with type 2 diabetes, making them significant risk factors for type 2 diabetes. The present study aimed to assess the epidemiological feature of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD or MAFLD at global levels. METHODS Published studies were searched for terms that included type 2 diabetes, and NAFLD or MAFLD using PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases from their inception to December 2022. The pooled global and regional prevalence and incidence density of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD or MAFLD were evaluated using random-effects meta-analysis. Potential sources of heterogeneity were investigated using stratified meta-analysis and meta-regression. RESULTS A total of 395 studies (6,878,568 participants with NAFLD; 1,172,637 participants with MAFLD) from 40 countries or areas were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of type 2 diabetes among NAFLD or MAFLD patients was 28.3% (95% confidence interval 25.2-31.6%) and 26.2% (23.9-28.6%) globally. The incidence density of type 2 diabetes in NAFLD or MAFLD patients was 24.6 per 1000-person year (20.7 to 29.2) and 26.9 per 1000-person year (7.3 to 44.4), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The present study describes the global prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD or MAFLD. The study findings serve as a valuable resource to assess the global clinical and economic impact of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD or MAFLD.

Abstract
We herein report two cases of rapidly progressive fatty liver (FL) disease due to pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) without a surgical history. Two women, 59 and 72 years old, with no history of abdominal surgery presented to our hospital with severe anorexia and nausea persisting for one week. Examinations revealed progressive, marked FL disease with hepatomegaly and PEI, for which pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy was effective. Commonly known causes of PEI include chronic pancreatitis, abdominal surgery (e.g. pancreaticoduodenectomy), pancreatic cancer, and obstruction of the pancreatic duct, none of which were present in either of these two cases.

Non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency: pilot study and systematic review. Scand J Gastroenterol 2023; 58:1030-1037. [PMID: 37088949 DOI: 10.1080/00365521.2023.2200452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) is estimated as 2-46% among patients without known pancreatic diseases. An association between NAFPD and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been proposed, as well as an association between NAFPD and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with histologically confirmed NAFLD were included in the study. The control group consisted of individuals included in a surveillance screening program. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pancreas was performed in all patients and fat measurement was made using 2-point Dixon imaging. Fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) was performed to evaluate pancreatic exocrine function. Additionally, a 13C-mixed triglyceride breath test (13 C-MTG-BT) was performed in patients with FE-1 < 200 μg/g. RESULTS Imaging signs of NAFPD were present in 17 (71%) patients; 11 (85%) from the NAFLD group and 6 (55%) from the control group. FE-1 < 200 μg/g was found in six (25%) patients (four in the NAFLD group and two in the control group); however, none of them had clinical symptoms of PEI. Therefore, in five out of six patients with low FE-1, a 13C-MTG-BT was performed, showing normal results (>20.9%) in all tested patients. Furthermore, the serum nutritional panel was normal in all patients with low FE-1. A systematic review identified five studies relevant to the topic. CONCLUSION NAFPD was found in 85% of patients with NAFLD and in 55% of control patients. We did not diagnose PEI in either group. A literature review showed PEI in 9-56% of patients with NAFPD.

Pancreatology 2023; 23:294-298. [PMID: 36990843 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2023.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Most patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) develop pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) over the course of the disease. PEI may lead to hyperoxaluria and development of urinary oxalate stones. It has been postulated that the patients with CP may be at increased risk of kidney stone formation, but the data is scarce. We aimed to estimate incidence and risk factors for nephrolithiasis in a Swedish cohort of patients with CP. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed retrospective analysis of an electronical medical database of patients diagnosed with definite CP during 2003-2020. We excluded patients <18 years of age, those with missing relevant data in medical charts, patients with probable CP (according to the M-ANNHEIM classification system) and those in whom kidney stones were diagnosed before CP diagnosis. RESULTS Some 632 patients with definite CP were followed over a median of 5.3 (IQR 2.4-6.9) years. There were 41 (6.5%) patients diagnosed with kidney stones, of whom 33 (80.5%) were symptomatic. Comparing to patients without kidney stones, patients with nephrolithiasis were older, with median age of 65 (IQR 51-72) years, and a male predominance (80% vs 63%). Cumulative incidence of kidney stones was 2.1%, 5.7%, 12.4% and 16.1% at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years after CP diagnosis, respectively. Multivariable cause-specific Cox regression analysis revealed PEI as independent risk factor for nephrolithiasis (adjusted HR 4.95, 95%CI 1.65-14.84; p = 0.004). Another risk factors were increase in BMI (aHR 1.16 95% CI 1.04-1.30; p = 0.001 per unit increment), and a male sex (4.51, 95% CI 1.01-20.3, p = 0.049). CONCLUSION PEI and increase in BMI are risk factors for kidney stone development in patients with CP. Male CP patents are particularly at increased risk of nephrolithiasis. This should be taken into consideration in general clinical approach to raise awareness among patients and medical workers.

Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency is Undiagnosed in Some Patients with Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome Using the Rome IV Criteria. Dig Dis Sci 2022; 67:5666-5675. [PMID: 35704255 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-022-07568-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most frequent disorders in clinical practice, with a mean 7.6-10.8% worldwide prevalence. A study showed that 6.1% of patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D) had severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). We aimed to identify the prevalence of EPI based on fecal elastase stool testing (Fel-1) in IBS-D and the clinical characteristics that may predict the diagnosis of EPI. METHODS Patients aged > 18 years presenting to tertiary hospital outpatient clinics with IBS-D completed validated questionnaires and gave a stool sample where Fel-1 concentration was measured. Patients with Fel-1 < 100 µg/g represented EPI and > 100 to < 200 µg/g underwent testing for pancreatic pathology with laboratory and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) evaluation. RESULTS One hundred forty patients (mean age 60 years, females 75.7%) were studied. EPI was found in 5% (95% CI 2.2-10.4), and pancreatic steatosis was the main EUS finding (71%). Dyspepsia was an independent factor associated with EPI (OR 34.7; 95% CI 4.95-366.37, p = 0.0007). After pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), patients showed a significant improvement in the Bristol stool scale (p < 0.0001), bowel movements per day (p < 0.005), distension score (0.0009), pain score (0.0277) and IBS severity (0.0034). CONCLUSION EPI is present in 5% of patients who fulfill Rome IV criteria for D-IBS, and dyspepsia was an independent symptom strongly associated with EPI. Pancreatic steatosis was the main endoscopic ultrasound finding. After PERT therapy, patients had significantly improved stool frequency, stool consistency, abdominal pain, distension and IBS severity score.

J Magn Reson Imaging 2022; 56:997-1008. [PMID: 35128748 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.28098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantitative imaging studies of the pancreas have often targeted the three main anatomical segments, head, body, and tail, using manual region of interest strategies to assess geographic heterogeneity. Existing automated analyses have implemented whole-organ segmentation, providing overall quantification but failing to address spatial heterogeneity. PURPOSE To develop and validate an automated method for pancreas segmentation into head, body, and tail subregions in abdominal MRI. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. SUBJECTS One hundred and fifty nominally healthy subjects from UK Biobank (100 subjects for method development and 50 subjects for validation). A separate 390 UK Biobank triples of subjects including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects and matched nondiabetics. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE A 1.5 T, three-dimensional two-point Dixon sequence (for segmentation and volume assessment) and a two-dimensional axial multiecho gradient-recalled echo sequence. ASSESSMENT Pancreas segments were annotated by four raters on the validation cohort. Intrarater agreement and interrater agreement were reported using Dice overlap (Dice similarity coefficient [DSC]). A segmentation method based on template registration was developed and evaluated against annotations. Results on regional pancreatic fat assessment are also presented, by intersecting the three-dimensional parts segmentation with one available proton density fat fraction (PDFF) image. STATISTICAL TEST Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U-test for comparisons. DSC and volume differences for evaluation. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Good intrarater (DSC mean, head: 0.982, body: 0.940, tail: 0.961) agreement and interrater (DSC mean, head: 0.968, body: 0.905, tail: 0.943) agreement were observed. No differences (DSC, head: P = 0.4358, body: P = 0.0992, tail: P = 0.1080) were observed between the manual annotations and our method's segmentations (DSC mean, head: 0.965, body: 0.893, tail: 0.934). Pancreatic body PDFF was different between T2DM and nondiabetics matched by body mass index. DATA CONCLUSION The developed segmentation's performance was no different from manual annotations. Application on type 2 diabetes subjects showed potential for assessing pancreatic disease heterogeneity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 3.
