文摘The Fibroscan-AST(FAST)score was developed based on the data of patients who had a liver biopsy for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)at several liver centres in England,and it was validated using data from seven clinical studies from North America,Europe and Asia(1).The FAST score requires only controlled attenuation parameter(CAP)and liver stiffness measurement(LSM)from a vibration-controlled transient elastography(VCTE)examination and serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST)level in its calculation.
