An XGBoost ‐Based Multicenter Model for Predicting HBV ‐Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Development and Validation

Key Points

• This research aims to develop and validate an accurate diagnostic model for HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC).
• Developed a diagnostic model using XGBoost algorithm.
• Conducted multicenter validation for model assessment.
• Compared accuracy with existing models.
• The novel model shows significantly higher accuracy in identifying HBV-HCC compared to current diagnostic approaches.
