Median values, inter quartile range, ranges, and P values of measurements obtained for each fibrosis stage using two-dimensional shear wave elastography
| METAVIR stage | F0-F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 |
| Median value, kPa | 7.7 | 11.7 | 14.7 | 22.0 |
| IQR | 6.5-9.2 | 8.3-15.4 | 12.3-22.3 | 18.8-33.3 |
| Range | 4.9-25.8 | 4.6-51.7 | 8.7-67.2 | 10.1-45.3 |
| P value1 | < 0.001 | 0.009 | 0.011 |
P values refer to differences between consecutive fibrosis stages. IQR: Inter quartile range.
