Correlates of hepatic stiffness by FibroScan© in a multicentric Italian cohort of HIV-infected patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Consecutive HIV patients followed at 3 Italian Institutions, with or without coinfection with hepatitis viruses, were enrolled Jan to Jun, 2010. Transient Elastography (FibroScan©) was performed by 1 physician per site, blinded to patients’ data. Only procedures with ≥10 successful acquisitions and a success rate of ≥60% were evaluated. Elastographic results were expressed in KiloPascal (KPa, detection range 2.5 to 75).
