Clearance of the liver remnant predicts short-term outcome in patients undergoing resection of hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 3 Analysis of hepatic clearance for morbidity and mortality. A: Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of hepatic clearance of the remnant liver, LHL15, and albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) score in predicting major morbidity. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of hepatic clearance of the remnant liver, LHL15, and ALBI score in predicting major morbidity were 0.758, 0.594, and 0.647, respectively; B: Hepatic clearance of the remnant liver for Clavien–Dindo classification. The median hepatic clearances of the remnant liver were 238 and 179 mL/min for Clavien–Dindo < III and Clavien–Dindo ≥ III. LHL15: liver to heart-plus-liver radioactivity at 15 min; ALBI score: Albumin–bilirubin score.
