The nomogram is to predict the probability of recurrence within 5 years after curative hepatectomy. Instructions to using this nomogram: Locate the patient's GOT data on the axis, either >34, or ≦34. Draw a line up to the Points axis. The point is 35(if GOT > 34) and 0(if GOT ≦ 34).Repeat this process for the other predictors axes. Sum up the points for each predictor and locate the number on the Total Points axis. Draw a line straight down to the Predicted probability of recurrence with 5 years to determine the patient's probability of recurrence risk.
