Distribution of the etiology-differentiation scores in the validation cohort. Each dot represents the score of a patient. Blue dots: HCV-related cirrhotic patients with score >0; Green dots: HBV-related cirrhotic patients with score ≤ 0. Median score for HBV-related cirrhotic patients = −0.230; Median score for HCV-related cirrhotic patients = 0.506; Mann-Whitney P = 0.017. When the cutoff was assigned as 0 for the prediction of HCV-related cirrhosis (including coinfection), the sensitivity was 61.11%, the specificity was 60.81%, the positive predictive value was 43.14%, and the negative predictive value was 76.27%; N = 110.
