At each fibrosis stage, the median NAFLD fibrosis score was lower in Asian than in white patients but only statistically significant at F4 (P = .042); the median FIB-4 score was higher in Asian than in white patients at F2 (P = .015), F3 (P < .001), and F4 (P < .001); ...
According to HAI, fibrosis is staged using a 5-tier system, with stage 0 corresponding to absence of fibrosis and stage 4 to cirrhosis. Intermediate stages 1 and 3 correspond to fibrous expansion of portal tracts (score 1) and bridging fibrosis (score 3), respectively...
Compared to controls, the risk of severe liver disease increased per stage of fibrosis (hazard ratio ranging from 1.9 in F0 to 104.9 in F4). Accounting for the presence of NASH did not change these estimates significantly (likelihood ratio test >0.05 for all stages of fibrosis). Similar ...
into five stages from F0 to F4 according to the severity of fibrosis: no fibrosis, fibrous portal expansion, few bridges or septa, numerous bridges or septa, and cirrhosis18. The number of samples that were categorized into each stage was: 20 F0, 20 F1, 20 F2, 20 F3 and 20 F4. ...
An improvement was measured as a decrease of at least one stage in fibrosis after 48 weeks of treatment in this trial.10 Fibrosis is a measurement of the progression of MASH,11 a progressive disease impacting m...
S19k). Altogether, nanoparticle delivery of Foxf1 cDNA into endothelial cells on the day of bleomycin injury or during fibrotic stage after the injury inhibits pulmonary fibrosis and improves mice survival. Discussion Significant changes in gene expression among epithelial and mesenchymal cellular ...
especially squamous cell carcinoma; treating lung cancer in the setting of lung fibrosis also raises the risk of exacerbating the fibrosis [90]. Additionally, lung cancer stage is affected by the degree of fibrosis progression, likely due to them sharing signaling pathways and cellular microenvironment...

Second, histological stage falls into distinct categories (F0-F4) whereas HCC risk is a continuous variable (hence the “controversy” about whether F3 fibrosis is closer to F4 or F2). Third, histological stage is nowadays rarely ascertained by the “gold standard” test of liver biopsy and ...
