Of these twelve factors, age, serum albumin, PT, serum creatinine and platelet count were not included in the multivariate analysis because age and platelet count are included in the FIB-4 index, and serum albumin and PT are included in the C–P classification or ALBI grade, and serum creatinine was included in the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score. Here, ALB is linked to End Stage Liver Disease.
