Distribution for CHB w AE eAg+ vs. CHB w AE eAg- including the results of nodal widths.

<p>Group 1 and 2: HBeAg-positive and group 3: HBeAg-negative.</p><p>*p-value is from Wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous variables and Pearson’s chi-square test for categorical variables.</p><p>Abbreviations: WBC = white blood cell count, ALT = alanine aminotransferase, AFP = alpha-fetoprotein, BilT = total bilirubin level, VL = viral load, CLD = chronic liver parenchymal disease, LC = liver cirrhosis both diagnosed as ultrasonographic criteria, NUC = nucleos(t)ide analogue, PEG = pegylated interferon, both current standard antiviral therapies for chronic B hepatitis, WT = nodal width.</p><p>Distribution for CHB w AE eAg+ vs. CHB w AE eAg- including the results of nodal widths.
