Noninvasive scores for predicting MAFLD
Components AUC Link
LiverRisk score[1] seven predictors: age, glucose, cholesterol, AST , ALT , GGT , platelet count 0.72[2] liverriskscore.com
(Proprietary)
NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS)[3] seven predictors: age, hyperglycemia, BMI, platelet count, albumin, and AST/ALT ratio 0.72 (at-risk population for F3)[4] MedCalc
NAFLD-MESA[5] eight predictors: age, sex, race/ethnicity, type 2 diabetes, smoking, BMI, GGT, and triglycerides 0.83 (general population for steatosis)[5]
NAFLD-Clinical Index[5]
(NAFLD-MESA with labs excluded)
six predictors: age, sex, race/ethnicity, type 2 diabetes, smoking, BMI 0.78 (general population for steatosis)[5]
FIB-4 Index four predictors: age, AST, ALT, platelet count 0.61 (at-risk population for F3)[2]
0.68 (at-risk population for F3)[4]
MedCalc
University of Washington
MAF-5 (Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Fibrosis)[2] fix predictors: waist circumference, BMI, diabetes, AST, and platelet count 0.81 (at-risk population for F3)[2]
AST-platelet ratio index (APRI) two predictors: AST and platelet count MedCalc


FIB-4 index at MedCalc and https://www.hepatitisc.uw.edu/page/clinical-calculators/fib-4 . For assessing need for biopsy in hepatitis B and hepatitis C.[4]

Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Fibrosis (MAF-5) has been compared to the FIB-4 for predicting fibrosis was defined as liver stiffness = 8.0 kPa.[2] The MAF-5 includes the factors: waist circumference, body mass index (calculated as kg / m2), diabetes, aspartate aminotransferase, and platelets. The MAF-5 had a higher area under the curve (AUC).

NAFLD fibrosis score uses Age, hyperglycemia, body mass index, platelet count, albumin, and AST/ALT ratio.MedCalc[3][4]

The NAFLD-MESA Index Clinical Index[5]

The NAFLD-MESA Index uses "eight predictors: age, sex, race/ethnicity, type 2 diabetes, smoking history, body mass index, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and triglycerides (TG)"[5] The score predicted NAFLD by liver computed tomography (≤ 40 Hounsfield units indicating > 30% hepatic steatosis) with AUC = 0.80.

The LiverRisk score *https://www.liverriskscore.com/) uses seven predictors (age, glucose, cholesterol, AST , ALT , GGT , platelet count) and may be more accurate than the FIB-4 or aspartate transferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) at predicting liver stiffness measurements with AUC 0.83 [95% CI [0·78–0·89]) versus the FIB-4 Index (95% CI 0.68 [0.61–0.75]. The score predicted 6 kPa or more, 10 kPa or more, and 15 kPa[1]. These kPa thresholds correspond to:

  • 6 kPa: no fibrosis
  • 10 kPa: between F3 and F4 fibrosis
  • 15 kPa: above F4 fibrosis

Fibrotic NASH Index (FNI) which contains the AST, HDL, HbA1c[6].

AST-platelet ratio index (APRI) MedCalc


Imaging

Liver stiffness measurements: "LS of 8 and 12.5 kPa represent generally accepted cut-off values for F3 and F4 fibrosis. LS highly correlates with portal pressure, and esophageal varices are likely at values >20 kPa."[7]

  • LS of 8 suggests F3 fibrosis
  • LS of 12.5 kPa suggests F4 fibrosis

CT scan: "≤ 40 Hounsfield units indicating > 30% hepatic steatosis"[5].
