We read with interest the study by Kumada et al entitled "Long-term prognosis with or without nucleot(s)ide analogue therapy in hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis" recently published in the Journal of Viral Hepatitis1 . The authors found that use of nuleos(t)ide analogues in patients with HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis reduced liver-related mortality but not risk of hepatocarcinogenesis and non-liver-related mortality. Although we agree with the conclusions of this study, the following issue needs to be addressed.

Keywords: hepatitis; long term; ide; related decompensated; decompensated cirrhosis; term prognosis
