We also used clinical metrics to establish a model for identifying HCC at various AFP levels in cirrhotic patients by binary logistic stepwise regression analysis (177), and the model incorporating 6 parameters (indicators of age, AFP, Na+, Cl–, alkaline phosphatase, and activated partial thromboplastin time) showed an AUROC of 0.854, 68.5% sensitivity, 86.6% specificity, and 80.0% accuracy for the identification of cirrhotic patients with ANHC. Here, AFP is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
