Popis: BACKGROUND A strong association between chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and hepatic steatosis has been reported. However, the influence of steatohepatitis on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination remains unclear. AIM To evaluate the development of HCC after HCV cure using a new steatohepatitis-related biomarker. METHODS This cohort study analysed the prospective database of 290 CHC patients without a history of HCC who achieved HCV elimination by direct-acting antivirals. We calculated the FibroScan-aspartate aminotransferase (FAST) score 12 weeks after the end of treatment (pw12). The risk of HCC was analysed using the multivariable Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS HCV genotype (GT)1 was most prevalent at 72.4%, followed by GT2 (26.6%). Median follow-up period was 4.2 years (IQR 3.1-4.5). The cumulative HCC incidence for a FAST score ≥ 0.35 was significantly higher than that for a FAST score
