By contrast, misclassitication rate was different for FM8 between test (1 1%) and validating (23%, p = 0.002) populations. Likewise, misclassification rate was different between FM8 ( I 6%) and APRT (27%, p 0.001) in the whole population. The population was independently predicted by Metavir stage, age, prothrombin index and ferritin but not by FM8 or APRI. Conclusion: Test performance is sensitive to the population characteristics especially fibrosis level. Severe fibrosis is the best diagnostic target of these tests. Blood tests of liver fibrosis specific for NAFLD include markers linked to cause (glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, ferritin, weight). Their diagnostic accuracy is high, especially when compared to that observed in chronic viral hepatitis, and significantly higher than that of APRT score.

Conclusion: ADV resistance mutations (rtN236T and rtA181V) emerged at a delayed rate and with a low frequency (cumulative probability of 3.9%) after 144 weeks of therapy in all patients in this analysis.
