Nomogram based on CT-derived extracellular volume for the prediction of post-hepatectomy liver failure in patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

• CT-derived ECV had a strong correlation with the postoperative pathological fibrosis stage of the background liver. • CT-derived ECV was an independent predictor of PHLF in patients with resectable HCC. • The nomogram based on CT-derived ECV showed a superior prediction efficacy than that of clinical models (including Child-Pugh stage, MELD score, and ALBI score).
