The usefulness of noninvasive liver stiffness assessment using shear-wave elastography for predicting liver fibrosis in children

Table 2 Median liver stiffness values in fibrosis stages

Variable	Fibrosis stages			P value*
Variable	F0-1 (n = 13)	F2 (n = 11)	F3 (n = 6)	P value*
Liver stiffness, kPa (IQR)	8.2 (7.3–10.9)	13.2 (12.6–15.8)	21.7 (17.4–23.7)	< 0.001

IQR is presented in parentheses. IQR, interquartile range. *P value was determined using Kruskal–Wallis analysis
