| Abstract | Objective It is currently unclear whether there is a relationship between the ratio of glycated albumin to hemoglobin A1c (GA/HbA1c) and mortality in individuals diagnosed with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The primary objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between the GA/HbA1c ratio and all-cause mortality in adults with NAFLD in the U.S. Methods The investigation included a total of 5,295 individuals aged ≥ 18 years who were diagnosed with NAFLD, these individuals were selected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted between 1999 and 2004. To evaluate the outcomes of death, the researchers relied on National Death Index (NDI) records up to December 31, 2019. To better understand the nonlinear relationship between the GA/HbA1c ratio and mortality among individuals with NAFLD, this study employed both subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Furthermore, Cox proportional hazards models and two-part Cox proportional hazards model were utilized. Results The study included a total of 5,295 adult patients with NAFLD in the U.S. During a median follow-up period of 16.9 years, there were 1,471 recorded deaths, including 419 cardiovascular deaths. After accounting for various factors, a higher GA/HbA1c ratio exhibited a positive and nonlinear association with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in patients with NAFLD. Furthermore, the study revealed an L-shaped relationship between the GA/HbA1c ratio and all-cause mortality, with the inflection point occurring at a GA/HbA1c ratio of 2.21. When the GA/HbA1c ratio exceeded 2.21, each 1-unit increase in the ratio was associated with a 33% increase in the adjusted hazard ratio (HR 1.33; 95% CI 1.14, 1.60) for all-cause mortality. Conclusions A nonlinear correlation between the ratio of GA to HbA1c and all-cause mortality was observed in U.S. adults with NAFLD. In addition, an elevated GA/HbA1c ratio was linked to an increased risk of all-cause mortality in these patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
