Figure 4 Liver stiffness progression rate.
The progression rate is significantly higher in patients who were older than 40 at the time of blood transfusion, whose alcohol consumption is more than 50 g/d, and who are male. There is no significant difference according to hepatitis C virus (HCV) serotypes. Horizontal bar represents median value and 25th-75th percentiles.
