Subclinical abnormal glucose tolerance is a predictor of death in liver cirrhosis

Figure 1 Flowchart describing how selection of patients for the study was done. LC: Liver cirrhosis; OGTT: Oral glucose tolerance test; IGT: Impaired glucose tolerance; DM: Diabetes mellitus.

Figure 2 Cumulated survival of cirrhotic patients with normal glucose tolerance or subclinical abnormal glucose tolerance. Note that significant differences between both groups are evident after 3 years of follow-up. NGT: Normal glucose tolerance; SAGT: Subclinical abnormal glucose tolerance.
