  1. Data shown for the initial cohort of patients referred to the NAFLD Care Pathway upon its creation in August 2017. All data shown are from the time of referral. Laboratory values of interest were not available in all participants in this retrospective analysis and thus numbers for which individual results are available are shown in parentheses. Comorbid health conditions were identified through ICD codes and KP disease registries
