Risk Score for Hepatocellular Cancer in Adults Without Viral Hepatitis or Cirrhosis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is typically detected only at advanced stages when treatment options are limited. Most of the current HCC risk models focus on patients with viral hepatitis or diagnosed cirrhosis or require variables not routinely available in clinical care.

Objective

To identify modifiable HCC risk factors in the general population and to develop a risk score to inform HCC screening and risk-factor modification interventions for high-risk individuals without viral hepatitis or decompensated cirrhosis.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study analyzed demographic, clinical, laboratory, and diagnostic data from the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) electronic health records. Data were divided into development and validation sam
