    The Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) fibrosis score (NFS) are screening tests that are recommended by the Japanese Society of Hepatology and the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology to detect advanced liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. Further inspections are recommended for patients with >1.3 FIB-4 index and −1.44 NFS. We investigated the characteristics of patients with severe hepatic fibrosis with scores under the cutoff values. Patients with advanced liver fibrosis were defined as patients with Stages 3 and 4 who showed higher body mass index (BMI) and serum ferritin compared to patients with stages 0-2. Higher BMI and ferritin as well as other scores, including ferritin, such as NAFIC score, can be useful screening options to detect advanced liver fibrosis among patients with lower FIB-4 index or NFS.

    Aichi Dental Association (ADA) has developed a hepatitis project for dentists and held a hepatitis medical care coordinator (hepatitis-coordinator) training course. According to the questionnaire (response rate of 91.2% [145/159] ) for participants, dentists have more opportunities to interact with patients with hepatitis than the attendees from the non-dental field (p = 0.001). Dentists had expanded their knowledge of the role of hepatitis coordinators (p = 0.047) and wished to recommend the hepatitis B vaccination (p < 0.001). The number of dentists became the largest among hepatitis coordinators by occupation in Aichi Prefecture since 94 dentists were certified as hepatitis coordinators. The training courses by ADA provided an opportunity to take a leading position on hepatitis for dentists.
