Table 3 Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality outcomes associated with age-adjusted FIB-4 (overall population).

From: Liver fibrosis index and mortality in metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease: a Korean cohort study

Outcome

Model 1a

Model 2b

Model 3c

All-cause mortality

1.642 (1.489–1.811)

1.568 (1.416–1.737)

1.489 (1.353–1.639)

Cardiovascular mortality

1.636 (1.300–2.057)

1.556 (1.230–1.968)

1.478 (1.175–1.860)

  1. ᵃ Model 1: Adjusted for sex.
  2. ᵇ Model 2: Model 1 plus regular exercise, educational attainment, obesity, smoking status, and marital status.
  3. ᶜ Model 3: Model 2 plus systolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose.
  4. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression, with fib4_adj as the exposure variable.
