2. Figure 1
Box plots of ELF test values in relation to the degree of fibrosis. ELF test values are reported on the Y-axis, and the degree of fibrosis is on the X-axis (modified Brunt score). The top and bottom of the boxes represent the 25th and 75th quartiles, respectively. The length of the box represents the IQR within which 50% of the values are located. The line through the middle of each box represents the median. Whisker bars show minimum and maximum nonextreme values. * P < .001 among fibrosis stage 0 versus 1b, 1a versus 1c, 1b versus 2, 1c versus 2, 2 versus 3, and 3 versus 4. Abbreviations: ELF, enhanced liver fibrosis; IQR, interquartile range.

Performance of the ELF test for the prediction of different degrees of liver fibrosis (scored according to modified Brunt on the X-axis) in a theoretical cohort of 1000 pediatric NAFLD hospitalized subjects. Abbreviations: ELF, enhanced liver fibrosis; NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
