Prognostic Nomograms Based on the Cirrhotic Severity Scoring for Preoperative Prediction of Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with HBV-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Child-Pugh Grade A Liver Function

Figure 2

The preoperative nomograms for predicting RFS and OS in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing curative hepatectomy. (a) RFS predictive nomogram. (b) OS predictive nomogram. To use the nomogram, an individual patient’s value is located on each variable axis, and a line is drawn upward to determine the number of points received for each variable value. The sum of these numbers is located on the total point axis, and a line is drawn downward to the survival axes to determine the likelihood of 3- and 5-year RFS, and 3- and 5-year OS. CSS: cirrhotic severity scoring; ALBI: albumin-bilirubin; AFP: alpha-fetoprotein; RFS: recurrence-free survival; OS: overall survival.
