The results showed a quite significant correlation between an increased Lok index (≥ 2.4) and HCC development (sensibility = 57.1%, specificity = 65.7%, with an AUROC = 0.66); however, the prognostic accuracy of this score proved to be worse than other indexes, especially the Fibro Alpha and the Biotechnology Research Center (AUROC 0.91 and 0.93 respectively), and not sufficient to propose it as a valid predictive tool.
