BACKGROUND: Non-invasive scores have been proposed to identify patients with fibrotic, metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH), who are at the highest risk of progression to complications of cirrhosis and may benefit from pharmacologic treatments. However, data in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients are lacking. The aim of this multicenter prospective study was to compare head-to-head FAST (FibroScan-aspartate aminotransferase [AST]), MAST (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]-AST), MEFIB (magnetic resonance elastography [MRE] plus FIB-4), and FNI (fibrotic NASH index) for detecting fibrotic MASH in T2DM patients...
