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.

Utility of Fibroscan XL to assess the severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

TL;DR: Fibroscan was successful in 167 (88%) at baseline and 100% at follow-up patients with a failed fibroscan had higher body mass index (BMI) and alanine transaminase (ALT), but no difference in FIB-4/NAFLD score.

Transient Elastography in Alcoholic Liver Disease and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the accuracy of transient elastography (TE) for diagnosing steatosis and fibrosis in ALD/NAFLD patients, and the pooled results revealed that the sensitivity and specificity of TE were 0.84, 0.83, and 0.71, respectively.

Comparative Utility of Transient and 2D Shear Wave Elastography for the Assessment of Liver Fibrosis in Clinical Practice.

TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility and correlation of liver stiffness measurements (LSM) between 2D-shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) and TE (M and/or XL probe) in patients with chronic liver disease was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The liver steatosis severity and lipid characteristics in primary biliary cholangitis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the characteristics of lipid distribution and the degree of hepatic steatosis in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) patients and found that among the five groups of subjects, the PBC group had the lowest CAP values.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
