However, the incidence of HCC was not significantly different between these two groups by multivariable-adjusted analysis with full model (adjusted for age, sex, liver cirrhosis, diabetes, APRI, FIB4, CCI, CTP, AST, ALT, platelet, AFP, albumin, bilirubin and INR) or with main model (adjusted for age, sex, liver cirrhosis and diabetes) (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and hepatocellular carcinoma.
