Summary
The study of to influence the evolution of liver fibrosis in CHB across a 10‐year Period. CHB patients with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography 10 years ago were recruited for follow‐up LSM. Fibrosis progression/regression was arbitrarily defined as ≥1 fibrosis stage change from Baseline. A total of 459 hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative patients (224 untreated, 235 treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues [NAs]) were recruited. The mean age at baseline LSM was 41.7 ± 9.0 years (56.2% Over 10 years, the proportion of patients with advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis significantly reduced from 16.3% to 5.7% (P < 0.001). Fibrosis progression and regression were observed in 8.7% and 37.5%, respectiv Ely. No treatment with NAs (OR 2.259, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.032‐4.945), metabolic syndrome (OR 4.379, 95% CI: 1.128‐16.999) and hepatic steatosis (OR 7.799, 95% CI: 2.271‐ 26.776) was associated with fibrosis progression. Liver stiffness decline artwork positive correlation with the time after HBsAg seroclearance (r = −0.50, P < 0.001). Median liver stiffness was higher both at baseline (14.0 vs 6 kPa, P < 0.001) and 10 years (9.1 vs 4.9 kPa, P < 0.001) in patients with cirrhosis‐related complications/hepatocellular carcinoma compared with those without. In conclusion, CHB‐related liver fibrosis changed dynamically across 10 years. Metabolic syndrome and hepatic steatosis were associated with fibrosis Progression, while antiviral therapy was associated with fibrosis regression. Patients with HBsAg seroclearance demonstrat time-dependent decline in liver stiffness. |
