See MD Calc

Age	Score	Interpretation
≤ 35		needs alternative fibrosis assessment
36-64	<1.3	advanced fibrosis excluded
	1.3-2.67	needs further investigations
	>2.67	advanced fibrosis likely (F3-F4)
≥65	<2	advanced fibrosis excluded
	2-2.67	needs further investigations
	>2.67	advanced fibrosis likely

Score	Approximate Ishak level of fibrosis
<1.45	0 to 1 (mild)
1.45 to 3.25	2 to 3 (mild to moderate)
>3.25	4 to 6 (moderate to severe)
