Preliminary analysis of a newly proposed prognostic scoring system (SLiDe score) for hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract

The SLiDe scoring system is useful for the assessment of the prognosis of patients with HCC as long as the Japanese staging system is used, although this uses parameters such as the indocyanine green retention test and DCP, which are not examined routinely in every part of the world. Therefore, the proposed classification should be further validated in other large study populations.
