Comparison of the Young's modulus values among infants of different genders within the same group and in different groups with same gender.

Group	male		female
	n	Hepatic Young's modulus values (kPa)	n	Hepatic Young's modulus values (kPa)
control	28	6.69 ± 0.57	34	6.58 ± 0.52
non-BA	58	9.91 ± 2.00a	29	9.84 ± 1.49a
BA	18	17.94 ± 6.44ab	33	17.59 ± 5.65ab

^a compared with control group, P<0.01.

^b compared with non-BA group, P<0.01.
