Association between anti-HBc positivity and hepatocellular carcinoma in HBsAg-negative subjects with chronic liver disease A meta-analysis

摘要

A meta-analysis was performed to ascertain to what extent hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative/anti-hepatitis B core (anti-HBc)-positive subjects with chronic liver disease are at a higher risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than the anti-HBc-negative.
