Table 4 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.
