Figure 6

Prediction of long-term mortality by increased liver stiffness at admission. (A) Kaplan-Meier survival curves of ICU patients are displayed, showing that patients with liver stiffness > 18 kPa (black) at admission have an increased long-term mortality during follow-up as compared to patients with liver stiffness values < 18 kPa (grey). P-values and log-rank tests are given in the figure. (B) Analysis of A, excluding the ICU patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. (C-D) Liver stiffness measurements at Days 3 or 7 do not predict long-term mortality.
