Background and aims: This study aimed to integrate the quantitative serum HBsAg levels in the risk scores for the prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic hepatitis B patients.
Methods: There were 3,411 participants seropositive for HBsAg and seronegative for anti-HCV enrolled in the study during 1991-1992. The HBV-related seromarkers including genotype and serum HBV DNA and HBsAg levels at study entry were tested. Newly developed HCC was ascertained by computerized linkage with the national cancer registration profiles from 1991 to December 31, 2008. Two-thirds participants (n=2,274) were randomly allocated for model derivation and the other one-third (n=1,137) for model validation. The Cox's proportional hazards models were utilized to estimate the regression coefficients of each predictor for HCC, and the coefficients were converted to an integer to derive the HCC risk score. Two models were developed: model 1 included age, gender, family HCC history, liver cirrhosis status, HBeAg serostatus, and serum levels of ALT and HBV DNA; model 2 included quantitative HBsAg additionally. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative HCC risk by scores of participants in validation set. The area under receiver operating curve (AUROC) of models and the net reclassification improvement with and without quantitative HBsAg were assessed and compared. Results: All predictors included in prediction models were significantly associated with HCC. The risk scores ranged 0-22 for model 1 and 0-24 for model 2. Increasing risk scores predicted a corresponding increase in HCC risk. The estimated 10-year predicted risk for HCC ranged 0.10%-100.0% and 0.03%-100.0% for model 2, respectively. Applying the risk score to participants in validation set, they were validly categorized into low-, medium-, and high-risk group of HCC (all p-values< 0.001). The AUROC did not increase significantly by adding the quantitative HBsAg level into the prediction model. However, there were 12.7% participants with newly developed HCC and 14.4% without developing HCC during follow-up were reclassified correctly, showing the net reclassification improvement of 27.1% (p< 0.001).
Conclusions: Integrating quantitative HBsAg levels into the risk prediction model can better classify chronic hepatitis B patients who will and will not develop HCC in 10-year follow-up. |
