Age, years; LS, m/s; AFP, ng/mL. n/n indicates the number of events and the sample size. Comparison of AUCs for LS (SVR) and LS (Y3PSVR) in predicting post-Y3PSVR LREs: . AFP, α-fetoprotein; AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval; −LR, negative likelihood ratio; +LR, positive likelihood ratio; LRE, liver-related events; LS, liver stiffness; NA, not available; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value; Se, sensitivity; Sp, specificity; SVR, sustained virologic response (visit); TW0, treatment baseline; Y3PSVR, year 3 post-SVR. |
