Conclusion

Marsh [58], 1997

Retrospective Single center

214

ANN

1,2,3-year RR

D: 0.962 ± 0.01 (1-year)

0.944 ± 0.05 (2-year)

0.952 ± 0.04 (3-year)

V: 0.962 ± 0.043 (1-year)

0.966 ± 0.025 (2-year)

0.971 ± 0.034 (3-year)

The ANN model can identify post-LT HCC patients with or without recurrence

ANN

1,2,3-year RR

0.98 (1-year)

0.95 (2-year)

0.96 (3-year)

The ANN has genotyping as input parameter, which is possible to predict recurrence risk of post-LT HCC

Recurrence

–

This study validates the result conducted by Marsh et al., which the model had the discrimination power of 89.5%

Zhang [61], 2012

Retrospective Single center

290

MLP

1,2,5-year survival

0.909 (1-year)

0.888 (2-year)

0.845 (5-year)

The MLP model had high accuracy to predict post-transplant mortality risk for HCC recipients

DNN

Recurrence

0.75

The DNN model showed promising predictive performance and outperformed other traditional predictive model to predict HCC recurrence after LT
