Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: a Multicenter Propensity Matching Analysis with HBV-HCC

Background The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing worldwide. Higher perioperative risks may be anticipated due to underlying steatohepatitis, while long-term outcomes after liver resection are unknown. We sought to investigate outcomes after liver resection for NAFLD-HCC versus hepatitis B virus (HBV)-HCC using propensity score matching (PSM).
