CAD and hepatocellular carcinoma: COX regression (covariates: age, HCC yes/no, CSPH, CPS, status D‐DEF/D-NON-DEF) found presence of HCC (p < 0.001; HR: 5.763 95%CI: 2.183–15.213), presence of CSPH (p = 0.026; HR: 5.487 95%CI: 1.226–24.55) and CPS C (p = 0.003; HR:5.429 95%CI: 1.771–16.638) as independent risk factors for mortality.
