PTH-118 Albi score predicts survival in patients with bclc 0/a stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) independently of child pugh (CP) score and treatment allocation

“…Moreover, we have also explored the role of the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score, a newly developed HCC prognostic score in patients undergoing assessment for liver resection. (3,4) In our cohort (n 5 67) ALBI was the only factor significantly correlated with survival, independently of Child-Pugh score and HVPG. Interestingly, of resected patients, only two (4%) were classified as ALBI 2, suggesting that ALBI 2 patients are unlikely to be considered suitable candidates for resection.…”
