Hepatocellular carcinoma. 3. Death from liver causes (considering non-hepatic death as a competitive risk). 4. Liver transplant.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Measured as time-dependent occurrence of the listed clinical events during study follow-up; CSPH risk distribution estimated by the ANTICIPATE model. Clinical events are the composite of hepatic decompensation (clinical ascites, GI bleeding due to portal hypertension, hepatic encephalopathy), hepatocellular carcinoma, liver-related death (non-hepatic death as competing risk), and liver transplant."}
