HCC
Conditions
Brief summary
aimed to develop a scoring system to assess risk of developing HCC in a large cohort of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with advanced hepatic fibrosis (F3) or cirrhosis (F4) with sustained virological response (SVR) after receiving direct acting antivirals (DAAs).
Detailed description
Current guidelines recommend biannual surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in all patients with cirrhosis. However, risk of HCC incidence is not the same for different patients. The study aimed to develop a scoring system to assess risk of developing HCC in a large cohort of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with advanced hepatic fibrosis (F3) or cirrhosis (F4) with sustained virological response (SVR) after receiving direct acting antivirals (DAAs).
Interventions
Follow up after SVR
