Comments on Multi-HCC: A Practical Model to Prioritize Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma on the Liver Transplant Waiting List
We read with interest the recent study by Norman et al1, entitled“Multi-HCC: A Practical Model to Prioritize Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma on the Liver Transplant Waiting List." Based on the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) database in the United States, they established a risk stratification model for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through retrospective analysis and machine learning, which can be used to differentiate among patients with different risk levels quickly and efficiently, effectively shorten the waiting time for liver transplantation, and allocate medical resources rationally.
