🧬 REACH-B HCC Risk Score
UseWhen to use: non-cirrhotic chronic hepatitis B risk counseling / surveillance planning.
StrataHigher scores → higher published HCC risk percentages.
LimitsWhen not to use: established cirrhosis staging alone. · Pitfall: ignoring antiviral treatment effect. · Pair with PAGE-B on NAs.

How it works
Sex+age+ALT+HBeAg+HBV DNA points (0–17).
Key points
- 0–17.
- DNA points non-linear.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does REACH-B HCC Risk Score upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is REACH-B HCC Risk Score calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Sex Female (0), Age band 45–49 (+3), ALT (U/L) 15–44 (+1), HBeAg Negative (0), HBV DNA (copies/mL) 10000–99999 (+5) → Result: REACH-B 9 /17(≈3-y HCC: 1.8%, ≈5-y HCC: 2.7%, ≈10-y HCC: 6.4%) Inputs: Sex Female (0), Age band 30–34 (0), ALT (U/L) <15 (0), HBeAg Negative (0), HBV DNA (copies/mL) <300 / undetectable (0) → Result: REACH-B 0 /17(≈3-y HCC: 0%, ≈5-y HCC: 0%, ≈10-y HCC: 0.1%)
