Background: At present, some cancer patients experience hyperprogressive disease (HPD) after receiving immunotherapy. This study used the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 to evaluate the incidence of HPD in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for treating primary liver cancer (PLC) and to explore the risk factors for HPD.Methods: This retrospective, single-center study included patients with PLC who were treated with ICIs. The RECIST 1.1 was used to determine patients with HPD. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to explore the risk factors for HPD, and clinical variables with prognostic significance for HPD were included to establish a risk model.Results: Among 129 patients with PLC treated with ICIs, HPD occurred in 13 patients (10.1%). In the multivariate regression analysis, lymph node metastasis and lung metastasis were risk factors for HPD. The area under the curve of the risk model, established by including lymph node metastasis, lung metastasis, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, albumin, and performance status, was 0.801 (P
