Features of clinical interest of stepwise algorithms in chronic hepatitis B
| Algorithm A | Algorithm B | |
| Saved biopsies (%) | 48 | 81 |
| APRI performed (%) | 100 | 100 |
| Fibrotest performed (%) | 34 | 52 |
| Under-diagnosed and unclassified (%) | 0 | 0 |
| Over-diagnosed (%) | 3 | 3 |
Algorithm A: algorithm for significant fibrosis (F ≥ 2 by METAVIR); Algorithm B: algorithm for cirrhosis (F4 by METAVIR); APRI: aspartate aminotransferase to platelets ratio.
