Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease (CLD). Screening of liver fibrosis by clinical scores is recommended in people with obesity, but their accuracy is still under discussion. Vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is among the best validated imaging tools to assess liver fibrosis, and is suggested in patients with indeterminate or high-risk clinical scores....
