model. This predictive model (PPV 79% and NPV 80%) did not perform substantially better than the three other equations and did not outperform ultrasound for excluding NAFLD (NPV 82%). Conclusions: Freely available prediction rules and the tested novel biomarkers have insufficient diagnostic accuracy for diagnosing or excluding NAFLD in severely obese children. Ultrasound remains the most suitable tool to exclude NAFLD in daily routine in this group. Table 1. Diagnostic performance of non-invasive prediction rules and ultrasound.
