Declarations
:
: For the initial liver biopsy study (approval no. B201308702), ethics approval was granted by the Ethics Committee of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Informed consent was obtained from all participants at that time. Authors reporting experiments on humans and/or the use of human tissue samples must confirm that all experiments were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations. In June 2023, our center began planning to conduct a large-scale retrospective analysis within a two-year period. Regarding the current retrospective follow-up study, the same Ethics Committee granted a rapid ethical review (approval no. ZE202319401, valid until June 2025), as it did not involve any additional interventions or risks to the participants. We assure the integrity and confidentiality of the data and adhere to ethical guidelines. Requests for data access will undergo review.
