| Abstract | Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. However, there is no clear consensus on optimal screening strategies and risk stratification. We conducted a systematic review of society guidelines to identify differences in recommendations regarding the screening, diagnosis, and assessment of NAFLD. Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases from January 1, 2015, to August 2, 2022. Two researchers independently extracted information from the guidelines about screening strategies, risk stratification, use of noninvasive tests (NITs) to assess hepatic fibrosis, and indications for liver biopsy. Results: Twenty clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements were identified in our search. No guidelines recommended routine screening for NAFLD, while 14 guidelines recommended case finding in high-risk groups. Of the simple risk stratification models to assess for fibrosis, the fibrosis-4 score was the most frequently recommended, followed by the NAFLD fibrosis score. However, guidelines differed on which cutoffs to use and the interpretation of "high-risk" results. Conclusion: Multiple guidelines exist with varying recommendations on the benefits of screening and interpretation of NIT results. Despite their differences, all guidelines recognize the utility of NITs and recommend their incorporation into the clinical assessment of NAFLD. |
