Differential diagnosis of Child–Pugh A liver cirrhosis from non‐cirrhotic stages. (a) When patients with stage 4 fibrosis were divided into Child–Pugh A (16 patients), B (12 patients), or C (2 patients), albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) score of the Child–Pugh A group was significantly smaller than that of the Child–Pugh B or C group (14 patients) (P < 0.05). (b) Using the cut‐off value of −2.125, the receiver operating characteristic analysis (area under the ROC curve [AUROC] 0.801) proved that the ALBI score distinguished the Child–Pugh A group from the non‐cirrhotic group (F1–3) with a specificity of 87.1%, identical to that of differentiating cirrhosis (F4) from non‐cirrhotic stages (F1–3). The sensitivity and positive likelihood ratio decreased to 56.3% and 4.36, respectively. P‐values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. CI, confidence interval.
