Abstract
Aim: We examined the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography to detect any HS (defined as steatotic hepatocytes ≥ 5% on histology) and moderate-severe HS (defined as steatotic hepatocytes ≥ 30% on histology) by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, from January 2011 to February 2021, to identify studies conducted in adults investigating the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography vs . histology for detecting either ≥ 5% histologically defined HS or moderate-severe HS ( ≥ 30%). Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects modeling. Results: Twelve studies were included involving a total of 2921 individuals, 1710 (58.5%) of whom had HS ≥ 5% by histology. The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio of ultrasonography for the detection of ≥ 5% histologically defined HS, compared to histology, were 82% (95%
