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) |

*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.
