Table 4 Diagnostic performance of 2D-SWE for liver fibrosis

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

Stage Cutoff AUC (95% CI) Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) PPV (%) NPV (%) P value*
F ≥ 2 > 11.3 0.950 (0.803–0.996) 94.1 84.6 84.2 90.9 < 0.001
F ≥ 3 > 18.1 0.924 (0.766–0.989) 83.3 100.0 100.0 96.0 < 0.001
  1. 2D-SWE = two-dimensional shear-wave elastography. Diagnostic accuracy of each variable in association with fibrosis stage. The performance of the selected best cutoff values was indicated. AUC = the area under the receiver operating curve. PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, Negative predictive value; *Determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis
