An improved scoring system based on PALBI in predicting post-hepatectomy liver failure outcomes

Background : Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is one of the major complications of liver resection that causes perioperative mortality. Accurate preoperative assessment of PHLF is of great significance to reduce the complication rate after hepatectomy and improve the survival rate. Methods: A retrospective study of patients who received hepatectomy from January 2016 to October 2019 at Tang Du hospital was performed. The area under the ROC curve was used to compare the predictive effects of various scoring models on PHLF. Results: The area under ROC curve of PALBI score, I-PALBI score, ALBI score and MELD score was respectively 0.647, 0.772, 0.677, 0.686( P
