Perioperative and prognostic implication of albumin-bilirubin-TNM score in Child-Pugh class A hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

A reliable classification for predicting postoperative prognosis and perioperative risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is required to make a precise decision for HCC treatment. In the present study, we assessed the perioperative and prognostic importance of indocyanine green (ICG) testing, tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade, and ALBI-TNM (ALBI-T) score using consecutive resected HCC cases.

Methods

Between 1998 and 2011, 273 consecutive patients who underwent primary and curative hepatectomy for HCC were identified. Among these 273 cases, 235 Child-Pugh class A patients were enrolled in the present study.

Results

Correlation analysis showed that the value of linear predictor for ALBI grade was significantly
