  • Study focuses on predicting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk after HBsAg seroclearance in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.
  • Identified independent risk factors: age ≥50, male sex, cirrhosis, AVT-induced seroclearance, low platelets (≤150 × 10⁹/L), and low albumin (≤44 g/L).
  • Developed a six-factor predictive model with good discrimination (Harrell's C-index: 0.766) and validated it internally.
  • Model shows strong predictive ability for HCC at 3, 5, and 10 years (AUCs: 0.785, 0.775, 0.830).
  • Aims to optimize surveillance strategies post-HBsAg seroclearance for better clinical outcomes.
