Non-Invasive Model for Fibrosis Regression in HBV Patients

March 11, 2025 updated by: Sun Yameng, Beijing Friendship Hospital

Establishment and Application of a Non-Invasive Dynamic Model for Fibrosis Regression in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B

A total of 1000 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with liver biopsy performed at least 1 year after antiviral therapy are retrospectively enrolled. All the patients received NAs treatment. Blood count, liver function test, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), prothrombin time, liver ultrasonography, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and HBV serological markers were collected. HBV-related endpoint events, including cirrhosis decompensations (ascites, esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver transplantation and liver-related death were collected. Fibrosis regression prediction model based on dynamic changes in liver stiffness will be developed based on the retrospective cohort. An independent cohort of CHB patients with liver biopsy performed at least 1 year after antiviral therapy will be retrospectively enrolled for model validation.

  • Patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune liver disease, genetic liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, or other chronic liver diseases;
  • Patients with malignant lesion on liver image;
  • Patients with other uncured malignant tumors;
  • Patients with severe heart, lung, kidney, brain, blood, neuropsychiatric or other organs diseases;
  • Pregnant or lactating women;
  • Patients with any other reasons not suitable for the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive model for fibrosis regression
Time Frame: 5 years
Liver fibrosis regression was defined as decrease >= 1 point by Ishak fibrosis scoring system (range from 0 to 6, higher values represent a worse outcome) or Predominantly Regressive in P-I-R ( predominantly progressive, indeterminate and predominately regressive) score
5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of HBV-related clinical endpoint events
Time Frame: 7 years
clinical endpoint event includes: liver decompensations (ascites, esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy), HCC, liver transplantation and liver-related death
7 years
Percentage of HBV-induced liver fibrosis regression
Time Frame: 5 years
Liver fibrosis regression was defined as decrease >= 1 point by Ishak fibrosis scoring system (range from 0 to 6, higher values represent a worse outcome) or Predominantly Regressive in P-I-R ( predominantly progressive, indeterminate and predominately regressive) score
5 years
AUROC of non-invasive model for fibrosis regression
Time Frame: 5 years
Liver fibrosis regression was defined as decrease >= 1 point by Ishak fibrosis scoring system (range from 0 to 6, higher values represent a worse outcome) or Predominantly Regressive in P-I-R ( predominantly progressive, indeterminate and predominately regressive) score
5 years
Sensitivity of non-invasive model for fibrosis regression
Time Frame: 5 years
Liver fibrosis regression was defined as decrease >= 1 point by Ishak fibrosis scoring system (range from 0 to 6, higher values represent a worse outcome) or Predominantly Regressive in P-I-R ( predominantly progressive, indeterminate and predominately regressive) score
5 years
Specificity of non-invasive model for fibrosis regression
Time Frame: 5 years
Liver fibrosis regression was defined as decrease >= 1 point by Ishak fibrosis scoring system (range from 0 to 6, higher values represent a worse outcome) or Predominantly Regressive in P-I-R ( predominantly progressive, indeterminate and predominately regressive) score
5 years
