Analysis of gastric electrical rhythm in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus

Table 5 Electrogastrogram characteristics in the metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease group and non-metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease group, means ± SD

Variables	MASLD (n = 96)	NMASLD (n = 176)	P value
Pre-meal slow-wave ratio	45.009 ± 10.364	56.106 ± 14.401	< 0.01b
Postprandial slow wave ratio	42.664 ± 11.705	59.520 ± 12.375	< 0.05a
Pre-meal bradygastria ratio	23.323 ± 9.476	22.902 ± 10.364	0.742
Postprandial bradygastria ratio	30.009 ± 8.788	19.945 ± 9.280	< 0.05a
Pre-meal tachygasria ratio	18.365 ± 8.367	19.063 ± 8.731	0.523
Postprandial tachygasria ratio	26.445 ± 9.284	15.673 ± 7.342	< 0.05a
Pre-meal rhythm disturbance ratio	12.186 ± 5.379	6.681 ± 3.812	< 0.05a
Postprandial rhythm disturbance ratio	5.898 ± 3.095	5.362 ± 3.361	0.198

^aP < 0.05.

^bP < 0.01. P values for differences between two groups were obtained by two-sample t-test.

MASLD: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; NMASLD: Non-metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
