Abstract:
Objective To study the value of serum prealbumin-bilirubin score (PALBI) in predicting posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) for patients with HBV related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 919 HBV-related HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy from September 2013 to December 2016 at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University.These patients were divided into a training cohort (n =689) and a validation cohort (n =230) using the 3 ∶ 1 matching principle.The training cohort was divided into the control group (n=546) and the PHLF group (n=143) according to whether PHLF occurred.The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors related to PHLF in the training cohort,and then the PALBI score was established.The ability of the PALBI score to predict PHLF was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and compared with the Child-Pugh,model for end-stage liver disease (MELD),and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) scores.Results Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed the factors including HBV-DNA≥ 103 IU/ml,total bilirubin,prealbumin,platelet count,AST,prothrombin time,intraoperative blood loss ≥400 ml and major liver resection were closely related to PHLF.The ability of the PALBI score (AUC =0.733) to predict PHLF preoperatively was superior to the ChildPugh score (AUC =0.562),the MELD score (AUC =0.652) and the ALBI score (AUC =0.683) in the entire training cohort.Similar results were obtained in the entire validation cohort (AUC:0.752 vs.0.599 vs.0.641 vs.0.678).To eliminate the effect of a small residual liver volume on PHLF,the ability of each of these scores in the training and validation cohorts to predict PHLF was calculated respectively in these 2 cohorts of patients who underwent only minor liver resection,and similar results were obtained.Conclusion The PALBI score was significantly superior to the Child-Pugh,MELD and ALBI scores in predicting PHLF in patients with HBV-related HCC who underwent liver resection.The PALBI score is a simple,non-invasive and reliable novel model in predicting PHLF.
