Prognostic Value of FibroTest in HCV Ngo et al, ClinChem 2006“A Prospective Analysis of the prognostic value of biomarkers (FirboTest) in patients with chronic hepatitis C” FT in diagnostic of HBV
Study design • Included patients FT in diagnostic of HBV
5 year survival curves according to FibroTest severity groups at baseline FT classifies corectly FT in diagnostic of HBV
FibroTest Biopsy FibroTest Biopsy FibroTest Biopsy Prognostic value ROC of FibroTest and biopsy FT in diagnostic of HBV
Conclusions • FibroTest has prognostic values at least similar to that of liver biopsy, with the advantage of being non invasive • FibroTest has significant better prognostic values than that of other non invasive biomarkers FT in diagnostic of HBV
