Tamaki et al used the change in the FIB-4 index over time to predict the risk of hepatic fibrosis progressing to cirrhosis. The authors are from Musashino Red Cross Hospital in Tokyo.
Parameters:
(1) FIB-4 index at time 0
(2) FIB-4 index at later time
delta FIB-4 per year =
= ((later FIB-4) – (initial FIB-4)) / (time interval in years)
delta FIB-4 per year
