Figure 5. DSI compared to other proposed surrogates of clinical outcome.

Figure 5

DSI27,28, HVPG51, transient elastography52, and quantitative collagen from liver biopsy53,54 are plotted against Ishak fibrosis stage (data from 4 different studies). Sample sizes are shown at the top of each plot. DSI is linear over the full range of fibrosis and, compared to the other tests, is uniquely sensitive to earlier stages of fibrosis.
