Core Tip	Entecavir is a potent antiviral agent that is effective and safe for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. However, data on its clinical benefits in patients with cirrhosis, especially in long-term treatment, are limited. The aims of this prospective study were to evaluate the antiviral efficacy and clinical outcomes of entecavir treatment for 240 wk in nucleoside-naive Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B, and compensated or decompensated cirrhosis.
