Increasing burden of liver cancer despite extensive use of antiviral agents in a hepatitis B virus‐endemic population
Many noninvasive methods for diagnosing liver fibrosis (LF) have been proposed. To
determine the best method for diagnosing LF in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), we
conducted a systemic review and meta‐analysis to compare the performance of aspartate
aminotransferase to platelets ratio index (APRI), fibrosis‐4 index (FIB‐4), BARD score,
NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), FibroScan, shear wave elastography (SWE), and magnetic
resonance elastography (MRE) for diagnosing LF in NAFLD. We compared the sensitivity …
