Résumé
Objectives This study aims to describe the disease parameters of children and adolescents diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Saudi Arabia. It also investigates the disease's progression and compares clinical, biochemical, and radiological parameters at baseline and follow-up of patients with NAFLD. This study was done between two groups of patients: obese and those of average body weight. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2014 and 2018 through retrieved data from medical records. It included all children aged between six to 18 years diagnosed with NAFLD. Medical history was taken from each medical record, liver function test results, cholesterol, blood pressure readings, and body weight. Data have been restored from King Abdullah Specialist Children's Hospital (KASCH), Security Forces Hospital (SFH), and King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH)
