Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   There is currently no guideline on Pharmacotherapy of NAFLD in non diabetic patients, one
retrospective observational study has been conducted but no clinical trials for use of Saroglitazar in non diabetic non alcoholic patient is available hence this study will generate evidence for the use of Saroglitazar in non diabetic NAFLD patients ⦁
Saroglitazar in a drug approved for diabetic dyslipidemia and there are clinical trials which have shown the efficacy on NAFLD in patients with diabetic dyslipidemia
