Figure 2 Scatter plots showing correlations in cirrhotic patients. A: Correlations between splenic stiffness measurement (SSM) and platelet count. X-axis: Platelet count (× 10⁹/L). Y-axis: Splenic stiffness (kPa). Legend: Spearman r = -0.53, P < 0.001; B: Correlations between SSM and serum albumin. X-axis: Serum albumin (g/L). Y-axis: Splenic stiffness (kPa). Legend: Spearman r = -0.47, P < 0.001; C: Correlations between SSM and total bilirubin. X-axis: Total bilirubin (μmol/L). Y-axis: Splenic stiffness (kPa). Legend: Spearman r = 0.38, P = 0.002; D: Correlations between SSM and international normalized ratio. X-axis: International normalized ratio. Y-axis: Splenic stiffness (kPa). Legend: Spearman r = 0.44, P < 0.001. INR: International normalized ratio; SSM: Splenic stiffness measurement.
