Table 3 Hazard ratio estimates for liver-related event at ELF thresholds of 9.8 and 10.51. Hazard ratio estimates are presented using standard Cox proportional hazards and using time-dependent Cox analysis for liver-related event, at two ELF thresholds. Hazard ratio estimates are shown in unadjusted models and in models adjusted for deprivation, hypertension, heart disease, hypercholesterolaemia and diabetes
