Economic and healthcare resource burden of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: a United States system dynamics model
Poster, EASL 2026, Barcelona, Spain
This study estimates the clinical and patient burden of MASLD/MASH in the US, based on a dynamic prevalence model calibrated to NHANES-derived prevalence data for 2006-2020. Assuming the status quo continues, prevalence is predicted to rise from 104m in 2025 to 133m by 2060, with an associated 37% increase in direct costs and 39% increase in bed days.
