Comparison between Child-Pugh score and Albumin-Bilirubin grade in the prognosis of patients with HCC after liver resection using time-dependent ROC.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

The Child-Pugh score is a scoring system used to measure liver function and predict postoperative outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, the Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) grade has been proposed for the evaluation of hepatic reserve function in HCC. This study aimed to assess and compare the capability of ALBI grade and Child-Pugh score in predicting overall survival (OS).

Methods

A total of 196 consecutive HCC patients who treated with hepatectomy were enrolled in this retrospective study. The prognostic values of ALBI grade and Child-Pugh score in predicting postoperative OS were respectively estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and time-dependent receiver operating curves (ROC). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses wer
