*P < 0.05 in Δ LSM/Baseline, Total-CPA, Septal-CPA and Fibrillar-CPA; #P > 0.05 in Δ LSM/Baseline and Portal-CPA; ##P > 0.05 in all parameters; **P-I-R, predominantly progressive, indeterminate, predominantly regressive, only applicable for Ishak ≥ 3.

LSM, liver stiffness measurement; CPA, collagen percentage area.
