Table 4. Independent predictors of discordance between liver biopsy and CAP.
| Variables | P value | Odd ratio (95% CI) |
| Model using histological parameters | ||
| Steatosis grade 3 | 0.033 | 9.573 (1.207–75.931) |
| Activity grade 3 | NS | – |
| *Body mass index (kg/m2) | NS | – |
| *IQR/MCAP | NS | – |
| Model using clinical parameters | ||
| CAP value (dB/m) | 0.006 | 1.020 (1.006–1.034) |
| Alanine aminotransferase (IU/L) | NS | – |
| *Body mass index (kg/m2) | NS | – |
| *IQR/MCAP | NS | – |
CAP, controlled attenuation parameters; CI, confidence interval; NS, not significant; IQR/MCAP, interquartile range/median of CAP value.
*Body mass index and IQR/MCAP were incorporated into multivariate analysis due to their significant correlations with CAP value in multivariate linear regression analysis.
