Table 3. Distribution and agreement of fibrosis grades according to TE, ELF, and M2BPGi.

TE grade	ELF grade			Concordance*	kappa (95% CI)*	Concordance†	kappa (95% CI)†
	None to mild	Moderate	Severe
F0/1	4	112	13	27.70%	0.016 (−0.000–0.032)	77.50%	0.499 (0.370–0.629)
F2	0	9	7
F3/4	0	11	17

^*The agreement between groups was calculated based on TE grade F≥2 and the suggested cut-off values for ELF and M2BPGi (7.7 and COI of 1.0, respectively); ^†The agreement between groups was calculated based on TE grade F≥2 and the optimal cut-off values for ELF and M2BPGi (9.2 and COI of 0.71, respectively).

Abbreviations: TE, transient elastography; ELF, enhanced liver fibrosis; M2BPGi, Mac-2-binding protein glycosylation isomer; sST2, soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2.
