    Liver stiffness (LS) is a strong predictor of liver complications in patients with HCV after achieving sustained virological response (SVR).

  • 2

    The FibroScan-AST (FAST) score includes AST and CAP, potentially improving prediction of liver complications compared to LS alone.

  • 3

    In a study of 300 patients, 12% experienced liver complications after SVR, with LS and FAST both independently associated with increased risk.

  • 4

    The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve for LS was 0.83, while for FAST it was 0.80, indicating similar predictive capacities.

  • 5

    FAST does predict liver events post-SVR but does not enhance the predictive ability of LS alone at the time of SVR.
