TLDR
In patients with NAFLD, CAP values should always be taken into account in order to avoid overestimations of liver fibrosis assessed by transient elastography.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in adults 2021: A clinical practice guideline of the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver (AISF), the Italian Society of Diabetology (SID) and the Italian Society of Obesity (SIO)

TL;DR: In this paper , the quality of published evidence is graded, and practical recommendations are made following the rules and the methodology suggested in Italy by the Centro Nazionale per l'Eccellenza delle cure (CNEC) and Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS). Whenever possible, recommendations are placed within the context the Italian Healthcare system, with reference to specific experience and local diagnostic and management resources.

Fat Accumulation, Liver Fibrosis, and Metabolic Abnormalities in Chinese Patients With Moderate/Severe Versus Mild Hepatic Steatosis

TL;DR: NAFLD patients with moderate/severe steatosis, including those with normal BMI, had higher prevalence of MS and more fat in visceral, subcutaneous, and muscle compartments than those with mild steatotic and had more advanced liver disease.

Interplay between Heart Disease and Metabolic Steatosis: A Contemporary Perspective.

TL;DR: The pathophysiological mechanisms that govern the interplay between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and CVD are reviewed and the relationship between different CVD treatments and NAFLD progression is evaluated.

Effect of Daesiho-tang on obesity with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a study protocol for a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial.

TL;DR: The effect of DST on weight loss and obesity-related markers, along with NAFLD-related clinical parameters, in obese patients withNAFLD will be explored, and insight into the DST pharmacological mechanism of action through a gut microbiome analysis is provided.

Accuracy of Controlled Attenuation Parameter and Liver Stiffness Measurement in Patients with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurements (LSM) measured with either an M or XL probe against liver biopsy (LB) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Global epidemiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—Meta‐analytic assessment of prevalence, incidence, and outcomes

TL;DR: As the global epidemic of obesity fuels metabolic conditions, the clinical and economic burden of NAFLD will become enormous, and random‐effects models were used to provide point estimates of prevalence, incidence, mortality and incidence rate ratios.

EASL-EASD-EASO Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

TL;DR: The final purpose is to improve patient care and awareness of the importance of NAFLD, and to assist stakeholders in the decision-making process by providing evidence-based data, which also takes into consideration the burden of clinical management for the healthcare system.

The NAFLD fibrosis score: A noninvasive system that identifies liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD

TL;DR: A simple scoring system accurately separates patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with and without advanced fibrosis, rendering liver biopsy for identification ofAdvanced fibrosis unnecessary in a substantial proportion of patients.
