A multiple stepwise logistic regression model containing significant variables for advanced fibrosis (eNAPRT, type 2 diabetes, age, male sex, ALT) had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.82 (Se 89.6%, Sp 67.3%, PPV 46.7%, NPV 93.8%) when compared to that of LS (0.79; Se 63.5%, Sp 86.2%, PPV 66.0%, NPV 84.8%) and to that of the FIB-4 score (0.73; Se 80.0%, Sp 56.8%, PPV 44.9%, NPV 86.6%). This evidence concerns the gene GPT and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
