For the first time, BMS has been tested in treating both OSA and NAFLD pre and postoperative with positive results. Further research, ideally with histological and functional data, is needed to confirm these findings. The SR identified 14 distinct liver outcome tests; however, high heterogeneity and incomplete data precluded a meta-analysis. It is imperative to pay greater attention to the influence of OSA-related factors and uniformity in liver outcomes testing concerning NAFLD. To accomplish this, study designs should be enhanced by incorporating more comprehensive pre- and postoperative evaluations, extending follow-up periods, and employing a more consistent methodology for liver diagnosis in patients with obesity.
