Abstract: Objective To explore the compliance of liver cancer screening in high-risk population for liver cancer in the Anhui region, and analyze the related influencing factors, to provide a reference for formulating relevant management strategies. Methods Adult residents who participated in a physical examination in a hospital in Suzhou City from November 2020 to May 2022 and were assessed to be at high risk of liver cancer according to the results of the anti-cancer assessment were selected as the subjects for abdominal ultrasound examination and α-fetoprotein (AFP) detection. A self-made questionnaire was used to investigate the high-risk population for liver cancer. The screening status of the high-risk population for liver cancer was analyzed, and the influencing factors of screening compliance for the high-risk population for liver cancer were analyzed through univariate and multivariate analysis methods. Results Among the 802 high-risk individuals for liver cancer, 386 underwent subsequent liver cancer screening, with a participation rate of 48.13%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age < 60 years old (OR=4.424), Han nationality (OR=2.765), alcohol consumption (OR=5.551), chronic hepatitis (OR=4.250), fatty liver (OR=5.140), history of gallstones (OR=2.757), and family history of liver cancer (OR=5.590) were independent influencing factors for compliance of liver cancer screening in high-risk population for liver cancer. Conclusions The participation compliance of liver cancer screening in the high-risk population for liver cancer in the Anhui region is not high. It is of great value to provide certain intervention measures for relevant influencing factors to improve screening compliance.
