Hepatic steatosis is a frequent histological finding among subjects with chronic liver diseases (CLDs) (1). The present study analyzed the diagnostic accuracy (DA) of controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) in predicting each steatosis grade, using liver biopsy (LB) as the reference standard, in a la...
