Background/Purpose: To evaluate whether on-treatment HBV-DNA level could predict the treatment response to entecavir in hepatitis B e antigen (HBe)-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.Methods: A total of 68 treatment-naive HBeAg-positive patients (75% male, mean age at 46.6 +/- 11.9 years) receiving at least 2 years of entecavir therapy were enrolled. The primary therapeutic endpoint was HBeAg loss. On-treatment complete virological response was defined as serum HBV-DNA
