Abstract

Background: International experts have put forward a new definition for metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Nonetheless, sex differences in MAFLD function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) survival is still unknown. Therefore, the current work focused on exploring the gender-specific association of MAFLD effect on prognosis after radical resection of liver cancer.

Methods: The long-term prognostic outcomes of 642 HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy were analyzed retrospectively. To calculate overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS), Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve was plotted. Further, using Cox proportional model to explore the prognostic factors. Sensitivity analysis was performed using propensity score matching (PSM) to balance the confounding bias.

Results: For MAFLD patients, median OS and RFS times were 6.8 years and 6.1 years, respectively, compared to 8.5 years and 2.9 years in non-MAFLD patients. KM curve shown that compare with non-MAFLD patients, MAFLD patients had a higher survival rate in men, but had a lower survival rate in women (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that MAFLD was significantly risk factor with mortality in the female (HR = 5.177, 95%CI: 1.475-18.193). However, MAFLD was not related to RFS This correlation was consistent after PSM analysis.

Conclusions: MAFLD can improve the mortality of women undergoing radical resection for liver cancer, which independently estimate disease prognosis but is not related to recurrence-free survival.
