Table 5. The cut-offs of APRI and FIB-4 for significant fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients≥30 years.

Score Classification Cut-offs Sensitivity, % Specificity,% PPV,% NPV, %
APRI Significant fibrosis 0.4* 91 24 42 81
1.2** 32 90 66 69
Cirrhosis 0.5* 91 36 18 96
1.5** 32 90 33 90
FIB-4 Significant fibrosis 0.8* 90 20 41 77
2.1** 31 90 66 68
Cirrhosis 1.2* 91 32 17 96
2.6** 35 90 35 90

APRI, aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index; FIB-4, fibrosis index based on the 4 factors; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; Cut-offs* were established by obtaining a sensitivity of at least 90%; Cut-offs** were established by obtaining a specificity of at least 90%.
