    Abstract: The consistency in steatosis grading between magnetic resonance imaging-based proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) before and after treatment remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of steatosis grading between MRI-PDFF and CAP using liver biopsy as standard and to evaluate the value of monitoring changes in steatosis grading with CAP during follow-up utilizing MRI-PDFF as a reference. Methods: Consecutive patients from a biopsy cohort and a randomized controlled trial were included in this study and classified into 3 groups (the biopsy, orlistat treatment, and routine treatment subgroups). Hepatic steatosis was measured via MRI-PDFF and CAP at baseline and at the 6th month; the accuracy and cutoffs were assessed in the liver biopsy cohort at baseline. Results: A total of 209 consecutive patients were enrolled. MRI-PDFF and CAP showed comparable diagnostic accuracy for detecting pathological steatosis [⩾S1, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) = 0.984 and 0.972, respectively]; in contrast, CAP presented significantly lower AUCs in grades S2–3 and S3 (0.820 and 0.815, respectively). The CAP values correlated well with the MRI-PDFF values at baseline and at the 6th month ( r = 0.809 and 0.762, respectively, both p  〈  0.001), whereas a moderate correlation in their changes ( r = 0.612 and 0.524 for moderate-severe and mild steatosis, respectively; both p  〈  0.001) was observed. The AUC of CAP change was obtained to predict MRI-PDFF changes of ⩾5% and ⩾10% (0.685 and 0.704, p  〈  0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). The diagnostic agreement of steatosis grade changes between MRI-PDFF and CAP was weak (κ = 0.181, p = 0.001). Conclusions: CAP has decreased value for the initial screening of moderate-severe steatosis and is limited in monitoring changes in steatosis during treatment. The confirmation of steatosis grading with MRI-PDFF remains necessary.

    Abstract: The liver effect of orlistat as a weight control treatment in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with obesity remains undetermined. This study quantified liver fat improvement by orlistat in a Chinese cohort with NAFLD accompanied by obesity, diagnosed by a lower body mass index threshold than that for White patients. Materials and methods: We conducted a parallel-group, open-label, 24-week, randomized clinical trial registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-IPR-17012258). Obese participants with NAFLD were randomized 1:1.5 to the intervention group with orlistat or conventional care. Liver fat quantification was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging-based proton density fat fraction with Dixon sequence. Results: Overall, 170 ( n = 68, orlistat 120 mg three times/day and n = 102, conventional therapy) and 130 patients with NAFLD ( n = 56, orlistat and n = 74, conventional therapy) were included for intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analysis, respectively. Orlistat reduced liver fat content to a greater degree than conventional care [−5.45% versus −1.96%, p  〈  0.001 (ITT analysis) and −6.66% versus −2.68%, p  〈  0.001 (PP analysis)]. The 6-month rate of decrease in steatosis grades was higher in the orlistat group [45.6% versus 22.5% (ITT analysis), 57.4% versus 30.3% (PP analysis), both p  〈  0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified orlistat treatment [odds ratio (OR) = 2.4; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1–5.6, p = 0.036] as an independent predictor of steatosis improvement. Among patients with orlistat therapy, weight loss (OR = 1.2, 95% CI 1.1–1.4, p = 0.040) and severe steatosis (OR = 6.7, 95% CI: 1.1–40.3, p = 0.03) remained predictive of steatosis improvement. Conclusions: Orlistat can effectively promote steatosis improvement and may serve as a treatment option for controlling NAFLD. Chinese Clinical Trial Registry identifier: ChiCTR-IPR-17012258
