Annual hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence rates according to age and sex

Age (y)F0/1F2F3F4
The percentages indicate the annual incidence rates fitted by the least squares method using the risk ratios shown in table 4. Numbers in parentheses are the observed events/number at risk in each category.
SVR, sustained virological response; F0–F4, fibrosis stage.
