Diagnostic Performance of Shear-Wave Dispersion Slope for Biopsy-Proven Hepatic Inflammation in MASLD: A Systematic Review and HSROC Meta-Analysis

Key Points

• Diagnostic performance of shear-wave dispersion slope shows high accuracy for detecting hepatic inflammation.
• The analysis is based on a systematic review and HSROC meta-analysis involving multiple studies.
• Hepatic inflammation was confirmed by biopsy, providing robust evidence for the findings.
• The findings highlight the need for further validation of shear-wave dispersion slope in clinical settings.
