Data are presented as mean±SD, median (interquartile range), or number (percentage). Data of APRI, FIB-4, ELF, and M2BPGi according to the fibrosis grade based on TE are summarized in Supplemental Data Table S1.

*GGT levels were obtained from 71 patients at enrollment. PLT levels and APRI and FIB-4 scores were obtained from 130 CHB patients at enrollment. PT levels were obtained from 112 CHB patients at enrollment. §aPTT levels were obtained from 11 CHB patients at enrollment. ||HBV DNA levels were obtained from 137 CHB patients at enrollment.
