Table 2 Comparison of splenic stiffness measurement and key laboratory parameters between cirrhotic patients and controls, median (interquartile range)/mean ± SD
| Parameter | Cirrhotics (n = 60) | Controls (n = 60) | 1P value |
| Splenic stiffness (kPa) | 56.8 (36.4-88.9) | 17.9 (14.2-20.6) | < 0.001 |
| Platelet count (× 109/L) | 85 (65-110) | 220 (190-250) | < 0.001 |
| Serum albumin (g/L) | 30.2 ± 5.1 | 42.8 ± 3.6 | < 0.001 |
| Total bilirubin (μmol/L) | 40.5 (22.3-78.6) | 12.6 (9.8-15.4) | < 0.001 |
| INR | 1.6 ± 0.3 | 1.1 ± 0.1 | < 0.001 |
