In stratified analyses among patients with cirrhosis, the model had excellent discrimination (AUC, 0.824)36 and was superior to models from prior studies, which had AUCs that ranged from 0.64 to 0.76.43,44,45,46,47 Similar to our model, 1 or more of these prior studies identified age, sex, race, diabetes, BMI, platelet count, AST, ALT, bilirubin, and albumin as independent HCC predictors. Here, ALB is linked to Cirrhosis.
