International multicenter validation of <span>GES</span> score for <span>HCC</span> risk stratification in chronic hepatitis C patients Open
We have recently demonstrated the ability of a simple predictive model (GES) score to determine the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after using direct‐acting antivirals. However, our results were restricted to Egyptian patients with…
