Abstract
Background/aims
Opinions differ regarding transient elastography and magnetic resonance elastography (TE/MRE) cut-offs for diagnosing advanced fibrosis (AF) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We investigated the diagnostic performance and optimal cut-off values of TE and MRE for diagnosing AF.
Methods
Literature databases, including Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed, were used to identify relevant studies published up to June 13, 2023. We selected studies evaluating TE and MRE regarding the degree of liver fibrosis using liver biopsy as the reference. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under receiver operating characteristics curves (AUCs) of the pooled data for TE and MRE for each fibrosis stage and optimal cut-offs for AF were investigated.
Results
A total of 19,199 patients from 63 studies using TE showed diagnostic AUC of 0.83(95% confidence interval: 0.80–0.86), 0.83(0.80–0.86), 0.87(0.84–0.90), and 0.94(0.91–0.96) for ≥F1, ≥F2, ≥F3, and F4 stages, respectively. Similarly, 1,484 patients from 14 studies using MRE showed diagnostic AUC of 0.89(0.86–0.92), 0.92(0.89–0.94), 0.89(0.86–0.92), and 0.94(0.91–0.96) for ≥F1, ≥F2, ≥F3, and F4 stages respectively. The diagnostic AUC for AF using TE was highest at 0.90 with a cut-off of 7.1–7.9 kPa, and that of MRE was highest at 0.94 with a cut-off of 3.62–3.8 kPa.
Conclusions
TE(7.1–7.9 kPa) and MRE(3.62–3.8 kPa) with the suggested cut-offs showed favorable accuracy for diagnosing AF in patients with NAFLD. This result will serve as a basis for clinical guidelines for non-invasive tests and differential diagnosis of AF.
