Effect of potent nucleos(t)ide analog on alpha fetoprotein changes and occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with chronic hepatitis B by Qianqian Ma, Junzhao Ye, Ling Luo, Yanhong Sun, Wei Wang, Shiting Feng, Bing Liao, Bihui Zhong

“…The difference in the cumulative incidence of AFP abnormalities and HCC was statistically significant between patients who received ETV or TDF therapy. Multivariate Cox regression showed that elevated liver stiffness with shear wave elastography (Hazard ratio (HR) = 1.05, 95% Confidence interval (CI) 1.03–1.08, P < 0.001) and abnormal AFP at baseline (HR = 1.00, 95% CI 1.00–1.00, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for abnormal AFP in CHB patients, while shear wave elastography (HR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.02–1.12, P < 0.001) was also independent risk factor for HCC. …”

“…The medians of endometrial thickness were 4.30 (IQR=3.80)mm in the study group and 2.60 (IQR=0.90) mm in the control group and the difference was found to be significant (p<0.001). The medians of elastosonographic B/A ratios were 0.98 (IQR=0.18) and 1.27 (IQR=1.78) for the study group and controls respectively. …”
