Longitudinal assessment of liver stiffness by transient elastography for chronic hepatitis C patients

Figure 1 Change in liver stiffness between first and last transient elastography measurement in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. Scatter plot illustrating the difference in liver stiffness (kPa) between the first and last transient elastography measurement for patients who were treated (n = 405) and not treated (n = 365) with direct-acting antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C infection during the study period. Circles correspond to values for individual patients. kPa: Kilopascals; TE: Transient elastography.
