Although scholars developed “Scoring System for Predicting Risk of HCC” to estimate the risk about suffering hepatic carcinoma and proposed multifaceted researches, they couldn’t investigate the directions and methods of prevention and treatment of liver disease in the view of general public, liver disease patients and their families, and medical personnel. This research aims to propose a systematic integrated structure to show the dimensions, categories, and key factors of prevention and treatment of liver disease. Then, using the quantitative research to compare the importance difference of precautions between different identities, and grasping the directions and methods of prevention and treatment. This research (1) reviews the literatures to integrate the key factors and the implement tasks of prevention and treatment of liver disease; (2) establish “A structure of prevention and treatment of liver disease” to concrete the dimensions, categories, implement tasks of prevention and treatment of liver disease with the Qualitative Interviews methods, like KJ method, Focus Group Interviews, and Delphi method; (3) apply Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to show the overall weights of dimensions, categories, implement tasks. The research results confirm the importance of “Prevention” is better than “Treatment”, Health authorities and medical personnel can be a key factor for this to promote liver disease romotion programs; the general public and patients have encountered master effective of liver disease of prevention and treatment methods; early diagnosis, early treatment in order to reduce the risk of liver disease and its complications opportunities. Compared to simple description the key factors in the past, this research results are not only systematism and concretization, but also taking consideration of the importance difference of each dimension, category, and factor in different view. As these results, this research can effectively connect the value between academic and practical application.
