Prognosis Value of Transient Elastography and Non-invasive Markers of Fibrosis in Patients With Chronic Liver Disease

Completed
Conditions
Liver Fibrosis
Registration Number
NCT01241227
Lead Sponsor
Association HGE CHU Bordeaux Sud
Brief Summary

The aim of this prospective study was to compare the 5-year prognostic value of transient elastography (TE), FibroTest (FT), APRI , FIB-4, Lok, and Child-Pugh scores for predicting survival and complications of cirrhosis in patients with chronic liver diseases.

Detailed Description

A total of 1616 patients with chronic hepatitis C was included. At 5 years, 79 patients were dead (39 liver-related deaths) and 16 patients had liver transplantation. Overall survival was 91.7% and survival without liver-related death 94.4%. Survival was significantly decreased in patients diagnosed with severe fibrosis, whatever the non-invasive method used. All these methods were able to predict a shorter survival in this large population. Patients had their prognosis decreased as liver stiffness increased. By multivariate analysis, only FibroTest \> 0.74 (OR 4.41, 95%CI 1.62-12.01, p=0.004) was associated with overall survival, and liver stiffness \> 9.5 kPa (OR 4.71, 95%CI 1.06-21.01, p=0.04) associated with liver-related death.
