Clinical, laboratory, and ultrasonographic variables collected during outpatient follow\u2010up were analyzed. Feature selection was performed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and eight machine learning algorithms were evaluated. Model performance was assessed using discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis. The optimal model was further interpreted using Shapley Additive Explanations analysis and implemented as an online calculator.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ten variables were selected for model development. Among the evaluated algorithms, the K\u2010nearest neighbors model showed the best overall performance in the test set (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.954) with good calibration and clinical utility. Key contributors included albumin, cholestasis index, the variceal prediction rule, and total bile acids.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
