Liver fibrosis index-based nomograms for identifying esophageal varices in patients with chronic hepatitis B related cirrhosis

Figure 5 Decision curves of the nomograms, liver fibrosis index, splenic portal index, ratio of platelet count to spleen diameter, King’s score, and Lok index to predict the risk or severity of esophageal varices in the training and validation cohorts. A: The decision curve of esophageal varices (EV) risk prediction nomogram, liver fibrosis index (LFI), splenic portal index (SPI), ratio of platelet count to spleen diameter (PSR), King’s score, and Lok index in the training cohort; B: The decision curve of EV risk prediction nomogram, LFI, SPI, PSR, King’s score, and Lok index in the validation cohort; C: The decision curve of EV severity prediction nomogram, LFI, SPI, PSR, King’s score, and Lok index in the training cohort; D: The decision curve of EV severity prediction nomogram, LFI, SPI, PSR, King’s score, and Lok index in the validation cohort. LFI: Liver fibrosis index; SPI: Splenic portal index; PSR: Ratio of platelet count to spleen diameter.
