Clinical significance of the Naples prognostic score in predicting short- and long-term postoperative outcomes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Naples prognostic score (NPS) is a remarkable marker of short- and long-term outcomes in various types of cancer. However, its impact on the postoperative outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma remains controversial. This study aimed to clarify the impact of the NPS on the prognosis and incidence of postoperative complications in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Methods

Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 374) were categorized into high- and low-Naples prognostic score groups; their postoperative outcomes were compared. Prognostic and risk factors for severe postoperative complications were identified using multivariate analyses.

Results

The low-Naples prognostic score group had significantly longer overall and recurrence-free survivals than the high-Nap
