Brief summary
The investigators propose to construct and validate an early HCC risk prediction model in a multicenter retrospective cohort of hepatitis B-related fibrosis/cirrhosis patients, using multimodal data encompassing longitudinal clinical data, serum glycomics profiles, and liver biopsy histopathological images.
Detailed description
The investigators propose to construct and validate an early HCC risk prediction model in a multicenter retrospective cohort of hepatitis B-related fibrosis/cirrhosis patients, using multimodal data encompassing longitudinal clinical data, serum glycomics profiles, and liver biopsy histopathological images. Approximately 2,000 participants (200 HCC and 1,800 non-HCC) will be included. Model performance will be assessed by AUROC, sensitivity, and specificity through training and validation procedures, with the goal of developing a scalable HCC risk prediction method and software tool for clinical application.
