This improvement was primarily due to better specificity (FIB-3:0.85 vs FIB-4,0.60) while maintaining high sensitivity (0.62 vs 0.87). In patients aged &lt; 65 years, both indices exhibited modest improvement post-SVR, with no significant differences observed.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>At established cutoff values, the FIB-3 index demonstrated significantly higher diagnostic performance than the FIB-4 index, particularly in patients aged ≥ 65 years who achieved SVR. These findings suggest that the FIB-3 index is a reliable tool for long-term monitoring of liver fibrosis after hepatitis C eradication.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10424,"journal":{"name":"Clinics and research in hepatology and gastroenterology","volume":"49 7","pages":"Article 102625"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144181190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
