Interval changes in hepatic fibrosis scores using various criteria

Criteria	HCV⁻ (n = 11)		HCV⁺ (n = 45)		P^3-150
Criteria	Better	Worse	Better	Worse	P^3-150
Laennec (1 or more grade change)	1	1	11	11	.42
Laennec (greater than 1 grade change)	0	0	0	1	1.00
Ishak (1 or more grade change)	1	0	14	12	.10
Ishak (greater than 1 grade change)	1	0	1	6	.33
Ishak (1 or more grade change, weighted)^3-151	1	0	11	10	.18
