The final logistic model included platelet count, total bile acids, C3 and C4, red blood cell count, lymphocyte count, and albumin level. In the representative test set, its area under the curve was 0.809 (95% CI, 0.772-0.845) compared with 0.815 for APRI and 0.821 for FIB-4; neither paired difference was statistically significant after Holm adjustment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The model showed moderate discrimination and interpretable output but was not superior to APRI or FIB-4.
