Abstract | Background and aims: Chronic viral hepatitis B (CHB)-infected patients occasionally develop cirrhosis despite having persistent viral suppression with antiviral therapy. We aimed to identify risk factors for developing cirrhosis in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-suppressed patients. Methods: We conducted a case-control study involving 120 noncirrhotic CHB-infected patients achieving viral suppression with antiviral treatment, with 40 cases developing cirrhosis and 80 age-, sex-, and Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4)-matched controls. Clinical and laboratory data at viral suppression, including body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, pretreatment HBV viral load, HBe antigen status, hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV coinfections, liver chemistries, and AST to Platelets Ratio Index (APRI) values, were retrospectively abstracted. Risk factors for cirrhosis post-HBV suppression were identified using Cox proportional hazard analysis. Results: Case and control groups had similar ages (51.4 ± 9.9 vs. 51.4 ± 10.2 years), proportions of males (80% vs. 80%), and FIB-4 values (1.32 vs. 1.31). The cirrhosis group showed significantly higher BMI (25.1 vs. 22.7, Conclusions: In HBV-infected patients achieving viral suppression with therapy, a BMI >23 kg/m |
