Abstract :
BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to hepatic steatosis caused by something other than alcoholic liver injury, and often occurs after gastrointestinal surgeries such as pancreatoduodenectomy and gastrectomy. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for NAFLD after gastrectomy for gastric cancer. METHODS: A total of 721 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer and plane abdominal computed tomography (CT) preoperatively and 1 year after surgery were included in this study. NAFLD was defined as having a mean hepatic CT attenuation value of < 40 Hounsfield units. We retrospectively examined the relationship between the onset of NAFLD and clinicopathological findings to identify the risk factors associated with the development of NAFLD after gastrectomy. RESULTS: The incidence of postoperative NAFLD was 4.85% (35/721). The univariate analysis identified the following factors as being significantly associated with the incidence of NAFLD: age, preoperative BMI >/= 25 kg/m(2), tumor depth of pT3 |
