5years) including right hepatectomy(20.8%), central hepatectomy(1.9%), left hepatectomy(8.5%), bisegmentectomy(14.1%), unisegmentectomy(28.3%) and partial hepatectomy(26.4%). Nine patients(8.5%) developed PHD. Bootstrapped multivariate logistic regression identified LSM(P=0.001) as the only preoperative predictor of PHD. Area under ROC curve for LSM and HVPG was 0.807(95%CI=0.506-0.907) and 0.712(95%CI=0.646-0.917) respectively. LSM12kPa had 85.7% sensitivity and 66.7% specificity. HVPG10mmHg had 28.6% sensitivity and 96.3% specificity. Conclusion: In patients undergoing hepatectomy for HCC, LSM is an effective test to predict PHD pre-operatively when compared to HVPG.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
