Sensitivity | Specificity | PPV | NPV | AUROC (SE) | |
Significant fibrosis (≥3) | |||||
FibroSure > 0.48 | 61.9 | 70.3 | 32.5 | 88.9 | 0.746 (0.0657) |
APRI >1.5 | 13.6 | 94.6 | 37.5 | 82.2 | 0.694 (0.0673) |
ln(CXCL10) > 6.75 | 45.5 | 80.6 | 35.7 | 86.2 | 0.7 (0.067) |
Insignificant fibrosis (≤2) | |||||
FibroSure < 0.31 | 51.6 | 81 | 92.2 | 27.9 | |
APRI < 0.5 | 61.3 | 68.2 | 89.1 | 29.4 | |
ln(CXCL10) ≤ 5.86 | 30.1 | 95.5 | 96.6 | 24 |
NOTE. Fibrosis assessed using the Ishak fibrosis index. APRI, aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio; AUROC, area under the receiver operating curve; CXCL10, interferon [IFN] γ−inducible protein 10 [IP-10]; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value; SE, standard error.
