STEDIB supplementary verification code and aggregate results - no participant-level data.
Abstract
This software release provides supplementary computational verification for the study “Blood-based fibrosis scores align with liver stiffness measured by two-dimensional shear-wave elastography in type 2 diabetes”.Version 1.6.0 contains Python code for liver-score calculations, Spearman correlations, age- and sex-adjusted partial Spearman correlations, Benjamini–Hochberg false discovery rate correction, 10,000-resample bootstrap confidence intervals, and sensitivity analyses. It also includes software requirements, documentation, input definitions, mathematical unit tests, and selected rounded aggregate results corresponding to the revised manuscript.Clinical and direct biomarker–ultrasound associations are adjusted for age and sex only. Recruitment site is not used as a covariate.No participant-level records, patient identifiers, linkage keys, individual derived scores, or private verification datasets are included. Full numerical reproduction of the observed study results requires separately authorized access to the original participant-level data. Such access is not guaranteed.This implementation supports parallel verification and does not replace the statistician’s analyses or professional judgment.The MIT license applies to the software source code and its documentation. The accompanying aggregate tables are manuscript-result summaries; no separate open-data license is asserted. See RIGHTS.md for the scope of rights and reuse.
