摘要: 代谢相关脂肪性肝病(MAFLD)已成为全球范围内最常见的慢性肝病之一,构成严峻的公共卫生挑战。在此背景下,融合人工智能技术,特别是机器学习的智能诊疗和数字健康干预,能够突破传统方法局限,高效筛选关键基因、生物标志物、生化代谢等多维度数据,实现MAFLD风险预测、亚型识别、疗效评估等革命性突破。本文系统综述了机器学习模型在驱动MAFLD临床诊断革新与精准风险预测中的突破性应用;全面比较并分析了国内外MAFLD数字健康实践案例,深入剖析其在研究对象、干预方式及管理团队等方面的优势与局限。研究表明,数字健康与MAFLD长期管理的深度整合,正成为推动疾病管理模式向智能化、个体化、精准化转型的核心动力,但也存在诸多伦理技术问题亟待解决。Abstract: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become one of the most prevalent chronic liver diseases worldwide, posing a serious challenge to public health. In this context, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), especially intelligent diagnosis and treatment and digital health interventions based on machine learning, can break through the limitations of traditional methods, realize efficient screening of multi-dimensional data such as key genes, biomarkers, and biochemical metabolites, and achieve revolutionary breakthroughs in risk prediction, subtype identification, and therapeutic effect assessment for MAFLD. This article systematically reviews the ground-breaking application of machine learning models in driving the innovation of clinical diagnosis and precise risk prediction of MAFLD, conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of digital health practice cases of MAFLD in China and globally, and deeply analyzes their advantages and limitations in terms of research subjects, interventions, and management team. Studies have shown that the deep integration of digital health and long-term management of MAFLD is becoming the key engine driving the transformation of disease management modes towards an intelligent, individualized, and precise era, but there are various ethical and technical issues that need to be addressed urgently.
