Elastography is unable to exclude cirrhosis after sustained virological response in HCV-infected patients with advanced chronic liver disease
Background: Liver fibrosis and transient elastography (TE) correlation in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) after the sustained virological response (SVR) is unknown. Aims: To evaluate TE accuracy at identifying cirrhosis 3 years after...

| Resumo: | Background: Liver fibrosis and transient elastography (TE) correlation in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) after the sustained virological response (SVR) is unknown. Aims: To evaluate TE accuracy at identifying cirrhosis 3 years after HCV-eradication. Methods: Prospective, multi-centric study including HCV-cACLD patients before direct-acting antivirals (DAA). Diagnostic accuracy of TE (area under ROC, AUROC) to identify cirrhosis 3 years after SVR was evaluated. Results: Among 746 HCV-infected patients (95.4% with TE ≥10 kPa), 76 (10.2%) underwent a liver biopsy 3 years after SVR. Before treatment, 46 (63%) showed a TE |
