Factors associated with NASH improvement over 96 weeks
NASH
There were 47 (35.1%) children who improved during the follow-up period and 87 who did not (64.0%) (Table NASH improvement* from baseline to 96 weeks.*Based on biopsy alone.Metabolic correlates at baseline were also compared between those that improved and those that did not. Markers of glucose metabolism tended to be lower in those that improved including fasting glucose levels (86.8 ± 9.7 versus 90.2 ± 9.3 ml/dL; p = 0.04) and the 2-h glucose tolerance test (114.5 ± 3.3 versus 123.0 ± 26.7 ml/dL; p = 0.06).
