Figure 2 Estimated time to outcome (hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), death after HCC, or death free of HCC) with associated estimated hazard of developing the event over one year time intervals. This refers to the conditional failure rate(that is, the probability of an individual free of an event at the end of the time interval experiencing the event in the next interval). An interesting feature of these data is that the hazard rate for HCC increases over time while the hazard rates for death remain roughly constant over time.
