Subgroup analysis grouped by metabolic indicators for liver stiffness measurement (LSM) values in detecting liver fibrosis. Distribution of LSM values subgrouped by (a) haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) < 7% (n = 52) or HbA1c ≥7% (n = 38) and (b) body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2 (n = 58) or BMI ≥30 kg/m2 (n = 33). The abscissa represents the presence of significant fibrosis (stage 0–1 vs 2–4), and the ordinate represents the LSM value. Violin plots are shown with median, interquartile range, max and min values. The Mann-Whitney test was used for univariate comparisons between the subgroups. * represents P < 0.05
