• 2D-SWE.SSI was widely used in evaluating liver fibrosis and it has many confounding factors. Steatosis is one of the confounding factors and its effect on 2D-SWE.SSI was controversial. • Our study based on 1306 CHB patients with liver biopsy found that 2D-SWE.SSI might be affected by moderate to severe liver steatosis in diagnostically significant fibrosis (≥ F2) of CHB patients. • Patients with steatosis of the panacinar type have the highest overall diagnostic performance.
