Table 2. SE, SP, PPV, and NPV for ruling out the presence of advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis.
Biomarker test and classification | MRE fibrosis stage (‘stage ≥1 to ≤2’ fibrosis or lower vs. ‘stage >2 to <3’ fibrosis or higher) |
|||
---|---|---|---|---|
SE | SP | PPV | NPV | |
FIB-4 (advanced fibrosis excluded vs. other) | 0.67 (0.53, 0.80) | 0.68 (0.60, 0.77) | 0.45 (0.34, 0.57) | 0.84 (0.77, 0.91) |
NFS (F0-2 vs. other) | 0.78 (0.67, 0.90) | 0.61 (0.53, 0.69) | 0.42 (0.32, 0.52) | 0.89 (0.83, 0.95) |
Confidence intervals are listed in parentheses. SE, sensitivity; SP, specificity; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; FIB-4, Fibrosis-4; NFS, NAFLD Fibrosis Score; NAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
