¹Calculated by DeLong test and correct for multiple comparisons using the Hochberg method.

AUROC: Area under the receiver operating curve; FLI: Fatty liver index; HSI: Hepatic steatosis index; MASH: Metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease; NLFS: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease liver fat score.
