AFP and hepatocellular carcinoma: These factors were evaluated in the multivariate analyses, which revealed that HCC development was independently associated with age of ≥75 years (risk ratio [RR] = 35.16, P = 0.001), AFP levels of ≥6 ng/mL (RR = 43.30, P = 0.003), and SWE results of ≥11 kPa (RR = 28.71, P = 0.006).
