Network meta-analysis and validation study of expanded liver transplantation criteria for HCC: Significant role of AFP
Several EC, of which those of Metroticket 2.0 model were the best, yielded comparable outcomes to the MC. AFP-based EC such as Metroticket 2.0 and AFP model appeared to be useful in both the NMA and the validation cohort, suggesting a potential role in identifying selected low-risk patients beyond the MC.
