Table 5

Factors Influencing CAP (controlled attenuation parameter) in fibroscan. Using Univariate and Multivariate Linear Regression Analysis. Β: beta coefficient. Uni: univariate regression analysis; Multi: multivariate regression analysis. BMI: Body Mass Index; FBS: fasting blood sugar; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; TG: triglyceride; TC: total cholesterol; ALT: alanine transaminase; AST: aspartate transaminase; CRP: C-reactive protein; CK18: cytokeratin-18; LSM: liver stiffness measurement; US: ultrasonography; : significant.
