Excerpt
Many studies used non-invasive methods to estimate the prevalence of significant fibrosis and its risk factors in patients with HIV infection. We evaluated the ability of APRI and FIB-4 score to differentiate between the different stages of fibrosis (no fibrosis/minimal fibrosis = F0-F1 and F2-F4 fibrosis moderate-severe/cirrhosis), taking as a reference, in the absence of liver biopsy, the hepatic fibrosis stratification by FibroScan. …
