Impact of aspartate aminotransferase–to–platelet ratio index based score to assess posthepatectomy liver failure in patients with hepatocellular carcninoma

Table 5 Comparison of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis to evaluate the predictive value of APRI, MELD score, operating time and intraoperative blood loss for severe PHLF in HCC patients. All statistical tests were two-sided
