The ratio of serum globulin to the platelet count (GP) is a noninvasive model that is predictive of hepatic fibrosis in chronic viral hepatitis.
Patient selection: chronic viral hepatitis
Parameters:
(1) serum globulin in g/dL
(2) platelet count in 10^9/L
globulin platelet model =
= (globulin) * 100 / (platelet count)
Hepatic Fibrosis
Liu et al
F0 or F1
< 1.68
F2 or F3
? 1.68 to 2.53
F4
> 2.53
Performance:
• In the study of Liu et al, the GP model has an area under the ROC curve of 0.73 for distinguishing F0 or F1 from F2 to F4.
