In the multivariable analysis, LSM at baseline and 1\u2009year after SVR were significantly associated with the occurrence of HCC (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). LSM at 1\u2009year after SVR could better predict HCC risk than baseline LSM (C\u2010index: 0.760, 0.788 at baseline, 1\u2009year after SVR, respectively). Low\u2010risk patients (LSM\u2009&lt;\u200910\u2009kPa) using LSM values at 1\u2009year after SVR (76.4%) showed an incidence risk of 0.482 incidence rate\/100 patient\u2010years.
