Validation of the albumin-bilirubin score for identifying decompensation risk in patients with compensated cirrhosis

Table 3 Comparative performance of each prognostic score for predicting decompensation at 3 years

Prognostic score	tAUC	P value vs ALBI score
ALBI	0.86 (0.78-0.92)	Reference
MELD	0.66 (0.56-0.75)	< 0.001
ALBI-FIB4	0.77 (0.68-0.86)	0.04
FIB-4	0.48 (0.38-0.58)	< 0.001
Child-Pugh	0.65 (0.55-0.75)	< 0.001

MELD: Model for end-stage liver disease; ALBI: Albumin-bilirubin; FIB-4: Fibrosis-4; tAUC: Time-dependent area under the curve.
