Combining the age-male-albumin-bilirubin-platelets score and shear wave elastography stratifies carcinogenic risk in hepatitis C patients after viral clearance

Figure 1 Flow chart of the study. A total of 292 hepatitis C patients who obtained sustained virological response using direct-acting antiviral agent treatment were entered. Six patients who were lost to follow-up and 7 patients who were followed for less than 6 mo were excluded, and 279 patients were included in the analysis.
