Measuring the burden of cirrhosis and its complications in people with MASLD is important to inform health care delivery.\u003Cbr>Methods: We aimed to quantify the changes in the burden of MASLDrelated cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a nationwide U.S. healthcare system. We used data from the Veterans Health Administration to examine temporal trends between 2010 and 2021 in the annual incidence and prevalence of cirrhosis and HCC in a large cohort of patients with MASLD, and to compare them to those in patients with hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) .\u003Cbr>Results: The MASLD cohort grew from 78,082 in 2010 to 621,400 patients in 2021 . The annual age-standardized incidence rates of MASLD-related cirrhosis rose from 1.39 (95% CI, 1.13, 1.65) to 1.91 (95% CI, 1.80, 2.02) per 1000 patients (37 .4% increase) . HCC incidence increased from 0 .08 (95% CI, 0 .02, 0 . 14) to 0 .22 (0 . 18, 0 .26) per 1000 patients (175% increase) . Cirrhosis and HCC prevalence also increased, particularly among adults older than age 65, Whites, Hispanics, and individuals with diabetes. Temporal trends in the incidence and prevalence of cirrhosis and HCC among patients with ALD were similar to those in MASLD. In contrast, patients with HCV experienced a sharp decline in the incidence of cirrhosis and HCC in this |  |\n|  |  |  |\n\nAbbreviations: ALD, alcohol-associated liver disease; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AUDIT-C, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption; BMI, body mass index; CCR, Central Cancer Registry; CDW, Corporate Data Warehouse; CPT, Current Procedural Terminology; FIB-4, Fibrosis-4 Index; GEE, Generalized Estimating Equation; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; HBV, hepatitis B virus; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; HCV, hepatitis C virus; HDL, high-density Lipoprotein; ICD- 9/10, International Classification of Diseases, 9th/10th Revision; IU, International Units; MASH, metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis; MASLD, metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease; SAS, Statistical Analysis System; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus; VA, Veterans Affairs; VHA, Veterans Health Administration.  \nSupplemental Digital Content is available for this article.
