Abstract excerpt

Background: Non-invasive prediction of significant liver fibrosis and gastro-esophageal varices during mass treatment for HCV is crucial.The aim is to validate the accuracy of FIB-4 & APRI for predicting significant fibrosis in chronic HCV patients during mass treatment with directly acting anti-viral agents (DAAs) & their validity for predicting varices.Methods: We did a search in a database of 21,617 patients...
