Receiver operating characteristic curves of various non-invasive clinical scoring systems for the prediction of NASH among patients with NAFLD with persistent nALT: (A) using a cut-off of serum ALT levels <40 U/L for both sexes and (B) using a lower cut-off of serum ALT ≤35 U/L in men (n=48) and ≤23 U/L in women (n=16). The y-axis represents the sensitivity in ascending order. The x-axis represents the specificity in descending order. G-NASH is the model constructed by best-subset regression. Stepwise refers to the logistic regression model constructed by backward stepwise selection. ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AUROC, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CK18-M30, cytokeratin-18 M30 fragments; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; nALT, normal ALT; NASH, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
