Risk factors (present at time of initiation of antiviral therapy) associated with development of HCC in patients with HCV who achieved SVR. A stepwise selection procedure and the Breslow method were used in multivariable Cox proportional regression analysis. HRs for HCC in the patients are shown (red solid boxes) with 95% CIs (black line segments). HR: hazard ratio; PLT: platelet; NAFLD: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; AFP: Alpha-fetoprotein; LSM: liver stiffness measurement; DM: diabetes mellitus.
