We observed similar results using a higher LSM cutoff (≥9.5 kPa; n = 18; prevalence = 4.9% (95% CI, 3.1 to 7.7)): older age (per 10 years; OR = 3.91 (95% CI, 1.20 to 12.79), p = 0.024); low CD4+ T‐lymphocyte count (<200 cells/mm3; 5.15 (95% CI, 0.97 to 27.35), p = 0.054) and type 2 diabetes (yes vs. no; 3.99 (95% CI, 1.22 to 13.00), p = 0.022) were associated with fibrosis. This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and fibrosis.
