Patients with chronic hepatitis C may have advanced fibrosis at first evaluation. Using the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) definition (FibroScan® >9.5 kPa) for "late presenter for care" (LP), we found that 32% (169 of 527) of patients were LP. Being a LP was associated with increasing age and a history of alcohol overuse.
慢性丙型肝炎患者在初次评估时可能已出现严重纤维化。采用欧洲肝脏研究协会(EASL)对“延迟就医者”(LP)的定义(FibroScan®>9.5 kPa),我们发现32%(527例中的169例)的患者为LP。成为LP与年龄增长和过量饮酒史有关。
