  1. Prevalence ratios (PR) were estimated using regular visits as the base group in multinomial logistic regression models adjusted for sex, age (≥ 40 – < 50, ≥ 50 – < 60, and ≥ 60 years), year of HCC diagnosis, income percentile (≤ 30th, > 30th – ≤ 70th, and > 70th), and residential area (metropolitan and rural)
