Continuous variables are expressed as median (25, 75 percentiles). Categorical variables are displayed as numbers and percentages. # value for Univariate analysis; * Adjusted for Sex, age, smoking, drinking, history of medication, history of autoimmune disease, presence of diabetes mellitus, GLO, IGG, IGA, RDW, AAR, APRI, FIB-4, GPR, NLR, RLR, and RPR; ** value for multivariate analysis. AAR – aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio; APRI – AST to PLT ratio index; Fib-4 – fibrosis-4 index; GPR – GGT to PLT ratio; NLR – neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio; RLR – RDW to lymphocyte ratio, RPR – RDW to PLT ratio. RPR levels are expressed as lnN units. |
