Key clinical point: The EZ albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score was significantly correlated with the original and more complex ALBI score as a biomarker of liver injury.
Major finding: The correlation coefficient of the EZ-ALBI score with the standard ALBI score was 0.965 (P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, factors including EZ-ALBI grade 2 and 3 were independently associated with increased mortality.
Study details: The data come from 3,794 patients newly diagnosed with HCC who were prospectively enrolled in the study and later analyzed.
Disclosures: The study was supported by the Taipei Veterans General Hospital. The researchers had no financial conflicts to disclose.
