Individual patient data meta-analysis of controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) technology for assessing steatosis

Background & Aims The prevalence of fatty liver underscores the need for non-invasive characterization of steatosis, such as the ultrasound based controlled attenuation parameter (CAP). Despite good diagnostic accuracy, clinical use of CAP is limited due to uncertainty regarding optimal cut-offs and the influence of covariates. We therefore conducted an individual patient data meta-analysis. Methods A review of the literature identified studies...
