The fourth article in the new "Innovations in Hepatitis Elimination" series is "Assessment of non-invasive markers of liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis C in Ethiopia."

They will also describe potential implications of the study for revisiting WHO recommendations for APRI cutoffs for chronic hepatitis C care in sub-Saharan African countries.
