Table 3 Characteristics of the subjects assessed to determine the reproducibility of point shear wave elastography measurements

Characteristic	Total	Group 1	Group 2
Characteristic	n = 116	n = 47	n = 69
Sex, females (%)	44 (37.9)	10 (21.3)^b	34 (49.3)
Age, yr (SD)	41.9 (13.5)	44.1 (12.5)^a	38.9 (13.8)
BMI, kg/m² (SD)	23.2 (4.1)	23.7 (2.7)	23.0 (4.9)
PSWE measurement, rater 1 (IQR)	3.95 (3.3-5.2)	5.34 (4.1-7.3)^b	3.53 (3.2-4.1)
PSWE measurement, rater 2 (IQR)	3.92 (3.3-5.2)	5.34 (4.1-7.1)^b	3.52 (3.1-4.0)

SD values represent means, and IQR values represent medians.

^aP < 0.05;

^bP < 0.01. PSWE: point shear wave elastography; BMI: body mass index. Group 1: Patients with chronic viral hepatitis; Group 2: Healthy volunteers.
