Validation and Performance of FibroScan®-AST (FAST) Score on a Brazilian Population with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Background and Aim FAST score has a good performance for diagnosing the composite of NASH + NAS ≥ 4 + F ≥ 2. However, it has not been evaluated in Latin American individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to analyze the performance of the FAST score in a Brazilian NAFLD popu...

Zusammenfassung:	Background and Aim FAST score has a good performance for diagnosing the composite of NASH + NAS ≥ 4 + F ≥ 2. However, it has not been evaluated in Latin American individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to analyze the performance of the FAST score in a Brazilian NAFLD population. Methods Cross-sectional study was held in ≥ 18 years NAFLD patients diagnosed by ultrasonography and submitted to liver biopsy (LB). Liver stiffness (LSM) and CAP measurements were performed with FibroScan®, using M (BMI
