When the presence or absence of significant fibrosis (S ≥ 2) was considered as a binary dependent variable in patients, univariable analyses indicated that age, PLT, ALT, AST, TB, HBV DNA, HBsAg and qAnti-HBc levels were associated with significant fibrosis in HBeAg (+) patients, whereas multiple logistic regression analysis identified that age, PLT and qAnti-HBc levels were associated with significant fibrosis (Table 2). Here, GPT is linked to tuberculosis.
