Modified PAGE-B score predicts the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in Asians with chronic hepatitis B on antiviral therapy
Background & Aims Recently, the PAGE-B score and Toronto HCC risk index (THRI) have
been developed to predict the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Caucasian patients
with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We aimed to validate PAGE-B scores and THRI in Asian
patients with CHB and suggested modified PAGE-B scores to improve the predictive
performance. Methods From 2007 to 2017, we examined 3,001 Asian patients with CHB
receiving entecavir/tenofovir therapy. We assessed the performances of PAGE-B, THRI, CU …
