Table 3 Fibrosis stages – Concordance between fibrosis stages and predictions using fasting or postprandial assessments

From: Intra-individual fasting versuspostprandial variation of biochemical markers of liver fibrosis (FibroTest) and activity (ActiTest)

		Fasting
Postprandial	No or minimal Fibrosis	Moderate Fibrosis	Severe Fibrosis
No or minimal Fibrosis	39	0	0
Moderate Fibrosis	3	6	0
Severe Fibrosis	0	0	16

Kappa statistic = 0.91 (SD = 0.76); p < 0.001; almost perfect concordance.
