Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) carries a high risk of progressing to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, with progression related to the degree of hepatic steatosis. The diagnosis of steatosis is performed through imaging and biopsy, but these are not always available. Therefore, the performance of non-invasive scores such as FIB-4, APRI, BARD, and BAAT is evaluated in the asymptomatic Peruvian population. Methods: Cross-sectional study in non-alcoholic patients over 18 years old who attended a medical center in Lima, Peru for preventive check-ups between 2018-2021. All the participants underwent an abdominal ultrasound and laboratory tests that allowed us to obtain FIB-4, APRI, BAARD and BAAT scores. Sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), predictive values (PV), likelihood ratios (LR), and area under the ROC curve (AUROC) were calculated using liver ultrasound as the reference standard. Results: 507 participants with a median of 60 years old were included. 62.72% were female 5.13% had grade II/III steatosis on ultrasound. FIB 4 had a SE of 16.00%, SP 68.45%, PPV 2.65%, NPV 93.82%, and AUROC of 0.42. BARD had a SE of 30.77%, SP 35.14%, PPV 2.50%, NPV 90.37%, and AUROC of 0.33. APRI had a SE of 64.00%, SP 77.30%, PPV 13.11%, NPV 97.60%, and AUROC of 0.71. BAAT had a SE of 92.31%, SP 52.39%, PPV 9.49%, NPV 99.21%, and AUROC of 0.72. Only APRI and BAAT had an AUROC statistically greater than 0.5, but there was no difference between them. Conclusions: APRI and BAAT were the scores with the best performance for detecting moderate-severe steatosis in NAFLD. BAAT could be used for screening due to its high SE, while both tests could be used for ruling out as they have high NPV. FIB-4 and BARD were not useful in our population.
