The cirrhosis risk associated with AAR stratified by AST and ALT status

Status	AAR	Total	cirrhosis	Univariate		Multivariatea
		(n = 1754)	(n = 59)	HR(95%CI)	P-value	HR (95% CI)	P-value
Normal AST + normal ALT
	≤median	96 (49.23)	3 (23.08)	1.00		1.00
	> median	99 (50.77)	10 (76.92)	3.04 (0.82–11.24)	0.095	2.27 (0.58–8.92)	0.241
ASTb or ALTc abnormal
	≤median	780 (50.03)	15 (32.61)	1.00
	> median	779 (49.97)	31 (67.39)	2.06 (1.11–3.82)	0.022	1.91 (1.01–3.61)	0.047

^aAdjusted for age, gender, smoking and drinking status, ABLI grade, and antiviral treatment.

^bAST abnormal: AST > 40U/L.

^cALT abnormal: ALT > 50U/L.
