Overall survival (OS) is a composite clinical endpoint in hepatocellular carcinoma due to the mutual influence of cirrhosis and active malignancy in dictating patient's mortality. The ALBI grade is a recently described index of liver dysfunction in HCC, based solely on albumin and bilirubin levels. Whilst accurate, this score lacks cross-validation, especially in intermediate-stage HCC, where OS is highly heterogeneous.
The ALBI grade provides objective hepatic reserve estimation across each BCLC stage of hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract
Overall survival (OS) is a composite clinical endpoint in hepatocellular carcinoma due to the mutual influence of cirrhosis and active malignancy in dictating patient's mortality. The ALBI grade is a recently described index of liver dysfunction in HCC, based solely on albumin and bilirubin levels. Whilst accurate, this score lacks cross-validation, especially in intermediate-stage HCC, where OS is highly heterogeneous.File in questo prodotto:
