Outcomes of patients according to the aetiology of the liver disease.
(A) The 1-year incidence of first decompensation and (C) the 5-year overall survival differed across groups, adjusting for age and sex (p <0.0001 for both comparisons, log-rank). (B) The cumulative incidence of HCC across aetiology groups also differed after adjusting for age and sex (p = 0.0011, log-rank), (D) together with different competing risks of death (p <0.0001, adjusted for age and sex, log-rank). HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma.
