Table 4 Prothrombin 20210 mutation rates in various “fibrosis rate” models

Rate of fibrosis	PT20210 mutation in slow fibrosers (%)	PT20210 mutation in fast fibrosers (%)	P value³
Rate of fibrosis by Poynard	5.50	13	0.18
0.13 units/yr¹	5.10	15.80	0.07
0.133 units/yr²	5	16.70	0.03

Various cut-offs of rate of fibrosis were employed on our cohort to differentiate between fast and slow fibrosers.

¹Rate of fibrosis according to Fishman et al[22];

²Rate of fibrosis according to Wright et al[10];

³P value calculated by Fisher’s exact test. PT20210: Prothrombin 20210.
