Vibration\u2010controlled transient elastography (VCTE) offers a noninvasive alternative to liver biopsy, using controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) to estimate steatosis and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) for fibrosis. However, pediatric data with histological validation are limited. This prospective, multicenter study evaluated the accuracy of CAP and LSM in pediatric MASLD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Children with histologically confirmed MASLD from the Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network (NASH CRN) Database 3 underwent VCTE within 6 months of liver biopsy.
