Brief summary
A total of 2000 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with liver biopsy performed at least 1 year after antiviral therapy are enrolled. All the patients will receive original antiviral treatment for the following 10 years. Patients will be assessed at baseline and at every six months for blood count, liver function test, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), prothrombin time, liver ultrasonography, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and HBV serological markers. HBV-related endpoint events, including cirrhosis decompensations (ascites, esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver transplantation and liver-related death, will be collected during follow-up.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Group 1: Patients with history of HBV-related clinical endpoint events Inclusion Criteria: * No age limit; * Male or female; * Patients with liver biopsy performed at least 1 year after antiviral therapy; patients with history of clinical endpoint events (decompensated cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation or liver-related death) after liver biopsy; * Patients with liver biopsy or liver stiffness or aspartate aminotransferase (AST)-to-platelet (PLT) ratio index (APRI) before antiviral treatment.
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with decompensated cirrhosis (including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, esophageal varices bleeding, hepatorenal syndrome, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, or other complications of decompensated cirrhosis), hepatocellular carcinoma, or liver transplantation before liver biopsy; * Patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune liver disease, genetic liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, or other chronic liver diseases; * Patients with malignant lesion on liver image; * Patients with other uncured malignant tumors; * Patients with severe heart, lung, kidney, brain, blood, neuropsychiatric or other organs diseases; * Pregnant or lactating women; * Patients with any other reasons not suitable for the study. Group 2: Patients without history of clinical endpoint events Inclusion Criteria: * No age limit; * Male or female; * Patients with liver biopsy performed at least 1 year after antiviral therapy; or chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with antiviral therapy at least 1 year content to be performed liver biopsy at enrollment; * Patients with liver biopsy or liver stiffness or APRI before antiviral treatment; * Agree to be followed up regularly; * Signature of informed consent.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HBV-related clinical endpoint events, including liver decompensations (ascites, esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy), HCC, liver transplantation and liver-related death | 1 to 10 years | Incidence of HBV-related clinical endpoint events during follow-ups |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Predicted probability of HBV-related clinical endpoint events | 1 to 10 years | The predicted probability is measured by histological prediction model or non-invasive prediction model |
| Predicted probability of HBV-induced fibrosis/cirrhosis regression | 1 to 10 years | The predicted probability is measured by histological prediction model or non-invasive prediction model |
| Percentage of HBV-induced liver fibrosis/cirrhosis regression | 1 to 10 years | Liver fibrosis regression was defined as decrease \>= 1 point by Ishak fibrosis scoring system (range from 0 to 6, higher values represent a worse outcome) or Predominantly Regressive in P-I-R ( predominantly progressive, indeterminate and predominately regressive) score |
