Brief summary
Using the multicenter data, we developed and validated an individualized online calculator to predict early mortality after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma. The user-friendly tool with 6 preoperative predictors demonstrated excellent accuracy. The freely available calculator may help identify high-risk patients and reduce futile liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.
