Indices	AUC	P value	Sensitivity	Specificity	PPV (%)	NPV (%)
FIB-4	0.806	0	0.692	0.804	72.97	77.36
APRI	0.772	0	0.82	0.627	62.75	82.05
NLR	0.54	0.512	0.462	0.706	54.55	63.16
PLR	0.301	0.001	0.051	0.98	66.67	57.47
NPAR	0.673	0.005	0.615	0.745	64.86	71.7

FIB-4: Fibrosis index based on four factors; APRI: Aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index; NLR: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; PLR: Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; AUC: Area under the curve; PPV: Positive predictive value; NPV: Negative predictive value.
