Elastography is unable to exclude cirrhosis after sustained virological response in HCV-infected patients with advanced chronic liver disease.

Background: Liver fibrosis and transient elastography (TE) correlation in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) after the sustained virological response (SVR) is unknown.

Aims: To evaluate TE accuracy at identifying cirrhosis 3 years after HCV-eradication.

Methods: Prospective, multi-centric study including HCV-cACLD patients before direct-acting antivirals (DAA).
