PHLF occurred in 39 patients (38.9%). Logistic regressionanalysis identified that international normalized ratio ( OR=1.09, P=0.026), LS( OR=1.297, P=0.004) and the largest nodule diameter( OR=1.191, P=0.015) were independent risk factors of PHLF.The area under curve (AUC) of the model was 0.842(95% CI =0.763-0.921), which was significantly higher than those of ALBI score, MELD score and Child-Pugh score (AUC 0.626-0.688, P<0.05). The model also showed good calibration in Hosmer-Lemeshow test ( P=0.498).
Conclusions:
A model based on 2D-SWE provides good preoperative prediction of PHLF among patients with HCC, which might have the potential in better customizing treatment strategy in those patients.
