Using AST-platelet ratio index and fibrosis 4 index for detecting chronic hepatitis C in a large-scale community screening.
BACKGROUND:Aspartate transaminase-platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis 4 (FIB-4) are two non-invasive indexes to predict liver fibrosis in liver disease. This study was to use APRI and FIB-4 to detect chronic virus hepatitis in community screenings. METHODS:From 2004 to 2013, a series of communi...
