Pérez-Latorre L, et al. - Researchers sought for the utility of transient elastography (TE) for assessing the prognosis of patients with decompensated cirrhosis (DC). Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) -coinfected patients with DC who underwent TE as part of their routine follow-up between 2006 and 2015 were analyzed. Results demonstrated no utility of TE for assessing the prognosis of HIV-infected patients with decompensated HCV-related cirrhosis. In this population group, albumin concentration and Child-Pugh scores were identified to be the most consistent predictors of death.
