Methods All adult patients who received a first LT between 2007 and 2017 were included in this cross‐sectional study. Recipients' characteristics...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The aim of this study was to generate an improved prognostic model for predicting recurrence in liver transplant candidates with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Predictors of recurrence were tested by a Cox model analysis in a training cohort of 537 patients transplanted for HCC. A prognostic score was developed and...
