Implication

Observational analysis shows fatty liver index sensitivity at 77.1% in overweight non-diabetic patients, indicating its utility during imaging shortages.

Key Points

Fatty liver index demonstrated a diagnostic sensitivity of 77.1% and specificity of 76.1% when compared to ultrasonography.
In total, 107 overweight non-diabetic patients were analyzed, with 57% identified as having non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by fatty liver index.
The study was conducted in a tertiary care center in South India using a cross-sectional design, gathering comprehensive socio-demographic data.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease rates were similar between the fatty liver index and ultrasonography, with 57% and 54.2%, respectively.
