Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival among HCC patients as assessed by the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score2 years

We will compare the ability of ALBI score to predict overall survival among HCC patients versus Child Pugh and MELD scores

Overall survival among HCC patients as assessed by the platelet-albumin-bilirubin (PALBI) score2 years

We will compare the ability of PALBI score to predict overall survival among HCC patients versus Child Pugh and MELD scores

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival among HCC patients according to treatment modality as assessed by the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score2 years

We will compare the ability of ALBI score to predict overall survival among HCC patients stratified according to treatment modality (Surgical resection, local ablation, trans-arterial chemoembolization, sorafenib and best supportive care)

Overall survival among HCC patients according to treatment modality as assessed by the platelet-albumin-bilirubin (PALBI)2 years

We will compare the ability of PALBI score to predict overall survival among HCC patients stratified according to treatment modality (Surgical resection, local ablation, trans-arterial chemoembolization, sorafenib and best supportive care)
