All variables were entered in a forward LR elimination procedure with a value to exit set at >0.10. Empty cells refer to the variables excluded from the multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. BMI: body mass index; baseline LSM: baseline liver stiffness measurements; PVT: portal vein thrombosis; NSBB: nonselective beta-blockers; PT: prothrombin time; TBIL: total bilirubin; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALP: alkaline phosphatase; GGT: glutamyl transpeptidase; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HBeAg: hepatitis B virus e antigen; MELD: model for end-stage liver disease.
