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

Figure 4 Percentage of hepatocellular carcinoma onset in the age-male-albumin-bilirubin-platelets score medium-risk and high-risk group stratified by Velocity of shear waves. Using the velocity of shear waves cut-off value (1.53 m/s) for hepatocarcinogenesis calculated using the receiver-operating characteristic curve, further stratification is done in the medium-risk and high-risk groups by the age-male-albumin-bilirubin-platelets score. Carcinogenesis is seen in 2.0% of the group with velocity of shear waves < 1.53 m/s and in 10.5% of the group with velocity of shear waves ≥ 1.53 m/s.
