  1. n/N* The total number of patients was 141 HCC, 216 liver cirrhosis and 218 chronic HBV, however not all questions were answered by all participants
  2. Missing laboratory data: Platelet count (HCC 36, cirrhosis 50, and chronic HBV 117); INR (HCC 59 and cirrhosis 103); Albumin (HCC 33, cirrhosis 47, and chronic HBV 99); AFP (HCC 80 and cirrhosis 147); HBV DNA (HCC 86, cirrhosis 89, and HBV 132)
