Papers・Description | AIM:We sought to create a prediction model for intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA (IH-cccDNA) level in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and to validate the model's predictive accuracy.METHODS:Patients who did not receive previous nucleoside analogue (NA) therapy were assigned to the training cohort (n = 57), and those who received previous NA therapy were assigned to the validation cohort (n = 69). Factors linked to IH-cccDNA levels in the training cohort were analyzed and a formula to predict IH-cccDNA levels was constructed. Next, the reproducibility of that formula was assessed.RESULTS:In the multivariate analysis for the prediction of IH-cccDNA level in the training cohort, fasting blood sugar (FBS) (P = 0.0227), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) (P = 0.0067) and log10CONCLUSION:Our proposed model for the prediction of IH-cccDNA level could be helpful in CHB patients. |
