Core Tip This retrospective cohort study evaluated the age-male-albumin-bilirubin-platelet (aMAP) score for predicting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk after sustained virological response in patients with hepatitis C virus-related compensated advanced chronic liver disease. Among 571 patients followed for a median of 4.59 years, 78 developed HCC. The aMAP score outperformed other noninvasive scoring systems, and an exploratory threshold of < 55 identified 18.6% of patients with no observed HCC events. These findings suggest that the aMAP score may support individualized surveillance intensity; however, the threshold requires external validation before routine clinical implementation.
