In the 16 cases of the cirrhosis progression group, the median ALBI score worsened from −2.08 to −1.78 (P < 0.001), whereas in the 30 cases of the non-progression group, the median ALBI score significantly improved from −2.15 to −2.43 (P < 0.001, A). Similar to the above, the median CLDQ score worsened from 5.3 to 4.9 (P = 0.034) in the cirrhosis progression group, whereas the median CLDQ score improved from 5.1 to 5.6 (P = 0.018, B) in the non-progression group. ALBI, albumin–bilirubin; CLDQ, Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire. Error bar, standard deviation of each data.
