Diagnostic accuracy of Fatty Liver Index (FLI) for detecting Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) in adults attending a tertiary care hospital, a cross-sectional study
MAFLD prevalence among adults was high in this hospital-based sample. FLI can serve as an accurate non-invasive tool for identifying individuals with a high probability of MAFLD. These findings emphasize the need for larger population-based studies and the implementation of regular MAFLD screening programs in high-risk groups.
