Core Tip This study developed and validated a simple non-invasive fibrosis risk score for hepatitis C virus using platelet count, lipid markers, and liver function parameters. The score outperformed commonly used clinical tools for detecting significant hepatic fibrosis. Additionally, machine-learning models were evaluated, which outperformed the commonly used clinical risk scoring systems with random forest and AdaBoost demonstrating the highest diagnostic performance for detecting significant hepatic fibrosis in hepatitis C virus.
