Subgroup analysis of the predictive ability of aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) for assessing hepatic fibrosis among patients with chronic hepatitis C

Background: There are many laboratory indices to assess liver fibrosis. Aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index have been used as well-known serum markers of liver fibrosis. With the increasing use of non-invasive fibrosis assessment, it is important to...
