A LASSO regression analysis was used for data dimensionality reduction and element selection. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify the independent risk factors relevant to RFS. Finally, clinical nomogram prediction model for RFS of HCC was established. Nomogram performance was assessed via internal validation and calibration curve statistics. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) curve were used to validate the performance and clinical utility of the nomogram.Results: Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that ALBI grade (hazard ratio, [HR] = 2.624, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.391– 4.949, P = 0.003), INR (HR = 2.605, 95% CI: 1.061– 6.396, P = 0.037), MLR (HR = 1.769, 95% CI: 1.073– 2.915, P = 0.025) and MVI (HR = 4.726, 95% CI: 2.365– 9.444, P < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors of RFS. Nomogram with independent factors was established and achieved a better concordance index of 0.753 (95% CI: 0.672– 0.834) for predicting RFS. The ROC found that the area under curve (AUC) was consistent with the C-index and the sensitivity was 85.4%. The risk score calculated by nomogram could divide AFP-negative HCC patients into high-, moderate- and low-risk groups (P < 0.05). DCA analysis revealed that the nomogram could augment net benefits and exhibited a wider range of threshold probabilities by the risk stratification than the AJCC T and BCLC stage in the prediction of AFP-negative HCC recurrence.Conclusion: The ALBI grade- and MLR-based nomogram prognostic model for RFS showed high predictive accuracy in AFP-negative HCC patients after surgical resection.Keywords: HCC, MLR, ALBI grade, AFP-negative, recurrence-free survival, nomogramMao SYu XShan YFan RWu SLu CDove Medical Pressarticlehccmlralbi gradeafp-negativerecurrence-free survivalnomogramNeoplasms.
