Kaplan–Meier plot of decompensation-free survival using baseline levels.
Cut-offs at (A) self-reported alcohol intake ≥60 g/day for men and ≥50 g/day for women, Peth ≥0.42 μmol/L and CDT ≥2.08 %CDT (B) by Youden’s index: self-reported alcohol intake ≥8 g/day, PEth ≥1.06 μmol/L and CDT ≥2.1 %CDT. p values are obtained by log-rank test between the high and low group for each assessment. CDT, carbohydrate-deficient transferrin; PEth, phosphatidylethanol.
