Differences in guideline definitions from major societies (AASLD, EASL, and APASL), together with the presence of characteristic histologic lesions in patients without clinically overt portal hypertension, have further complicated disease classification. To address these challenges, a large, multisociety, international initiative was convened to harmonize nomenclature and diagnostic criteria. Representatives from liver, pathology, and pediatric hepatology societies across the Americas, Europe, and Asia participated in a structured consensus process that included specialized working groups and external Delphi validation. The initiative produced a globally harmonized and implementable diagnostic framework. Consensus was reached that the terms porto-sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD) and NCPF may be used interchangeably when identical diagnostic criteria are applied, and that they should be written as PSVD or NCPF . The diagnosis was defined as fundamentally clinicopathological, requiring integrated assessment. Core principles include the need for a high-quality liver biopsy (≥10 mm), mandatory exclusion of cirrhosis, and systematic exclusion of specific alternative conditions. Importantly, the consensus recognizes that PSVD or NCPF may be diagnosed even without clinical portal hypertension and may coexist with other liver diseases, provided cirrhosis is excluded. Standardized major and minor histologic criteria were developed collaboratively by expert pathologists and externally validated. Features of portal hypertension were harmonized into specific and nonspecific categories applicable to routine clinical practice. An integrated diagnostic scoring system incorporating histology, clinical features, associated conditions, and concommitant etiologies was developed and validated using the Delphi method. This consensus provides the first internationally endorsed, unified framework for the diagnosis of PSVD or NCPF.

This study aimed to assess the proportion of obesity under these frameworks and their associations with liver-related events (LREs).</p><p><strong>Approach and results: </strong>We analyzed data from the multinational vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE)-prognosis cohort of 12,583 patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Obesity was defined using 3 frameworks: BMI alone, the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) criteria (BMI-defined obesity or overweight with waist-to-height ratio ≥0.5 plus comorbidity), and the Lancet Commission criteria (BMI-defined obesity plus ≥1 elevated anthropometric measure, or ≥2 elevated anthropometric measures, or BMI ≥40 kg/m²). LRE incidence per 1000 person-years was 2.4 (95% CI: 1.5-3.7), 3.4 (95% CI: 2.6-4.5), and 5.2 (95% CI: 4.3-6.3) for BMI-defined normal weight, overweight, and obesity. Overall, 20.4% and 34.1% of patients were not classified as obese by BMI but met obesity criteria under the EASO and Lancet definitions. These newly classified obese groups did not have higher LRE risk compared with their nonobese counterparts (adjusted subdistribution HR 1.15 [0.64-2.08] for EASO; 0.75 [0.42-1.34] for Lancet ), with incidence rates of 2.9 (95% CI: 1.9-4.3) and 2.7 (95% CI: 1.8-3.9) per 1000 person-years.
