Abstract
<p><b>A)</b> Receiver operating characteristic curve for MiR-B-Index in IC vs patients with chronic hepatitis (HBeAg positive or negative CHB, HBV/HDV chronic hepatitis, ALD1): 0.9520 (95% CI 0.903 to 1.000, p<0.001); <b>B)</b> ROC for MiR-B-Index in IC vs HBeAg negative CHB (ALD2): 0.954 (95% CI 0.902 to 1.000, p<0.001; <b>C)</b> Kinetics of MiR-B-Index in 14 patients treated with Peg-IFN: MiR-B-Index values progressively increased in SVR, whereas they showed minor fluctuations in REL/NR (p<0.001); <b>D)</b> Whisker plot of the MiR-B-Index (y-axis) values in BL CHB patients treated with Peg-IFN (NR, REL and SVR), 24 week post-T-FU of REL/NR and SVR and IC, separately (CHB-BL vs IC p<0.001; SVR-BL vs SVR PT-FU p<0.001; REL/NR BL vs REL/NR PT-FU p = 0.462; SVR PT-FU vs IC p = 0.792).</p
