The Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4) and NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) are non-invasive and accessible methods for assessing advanced liver fibrosis risk in primary care. We evaluated the distribution of FIB-4 and NFS scores in primary care patients with clinical signals for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This retrospective cohort study of electronic record data between 2007–2018 included adults with at least one abnormal aminotransferase and no known (non-NAFLD) liver disease. We calculated patient-level FIB-4 and NFS scores, the proportion of patients with mean values exceeding advanced fibrosis thresholds (indeterminate risk: FIB-4>1.3, NFS>−1.455; high-risk: FIB-4>2.67, NFS>0.676), and the proportion of patients with a NAFLD ICD-9/10 code. Logistic regression models evaluated the associations of metabolic syndrome components with elevated FIB-4 and NFS scores. The cohort included 6,506 patients with a median of 6 (IQR: 3–13) FIB-4 and NFS scores per patient. Of these patients, 81% had at least 2 components of metabolic syndrome, 29% had mean FIB-4 and NFS scores for indeterminate fibrosis risk, and 11% had either mean FIB-4 or NFS scores exceeding the high advanced fibrosis risk thresholds. Regression models identified associations of low HDL, hyperglycemia, Black race, and male gender with high-risk FIB-4 and NFS values. Only 5% of patients had existing diagnoses for NAFLD identified. Many primary care patients have FIB-4 and NFS scores concerning for advanced fibrosis, but rarely a diagnosis of NAFLD. Elevated FIB-4 and NFS scores may provide signals for further clinical evaluation of liver disease in primary care settings.
