Achieving textbook outcome in liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma: malnutrition's pivotal role.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the impact of textbook outcome (TO) achievement on survival post-liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore the associated factors.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 330 patients diagnosed with HCC who underwent initial liver resection at our hospital between January 2011 and December 2019. We also investigated the achievement rates of five TOs and sub-analyzed the relationship between them and malnutrition. The patient's nutritional status was classified following the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.

Results

The TO achievement rate was 72.7%. In the prognostic analysis, the TO-achieving group showed significantly longer overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Significant diffe
