Özet

Background The presence of advanced liver fibrosis portends a poor prognosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of five noninvasive scores [aspartate aminotransferase/platelet ratio (APRI), BARD, FIB-4, NAFLD fibrosis score (NFSA), and FibroMeter] for the assessment of advanced stages of fibrosis (F >= 3) in patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD.
