The significant predictive factors for 90-day mortality were presence of ascites (OR, 3.133; 95% CI, 1.531–6.410; p = 0.002), HCC progression as a potential precipitating event (OR, 5.561; 95% CI, 2.566–12.052; p < 0.001), chemoembolization as a potential precipitating event (OR, 0.228, 95% CI, 0.055–0.941, p = 0.041), white blood cell level (OR, 1.087; 95% CI, 1.026–1.152; p = 0.005), albumin level (OR, 0534; 95% CI, 0.296–0.965; p = 0.038), MELD score (OR, 1.143; 95% CI, 1.079–1.211; p < 0.001), and ascites as a complication defining AD (OR, 0.296; 95% CI 0.135–0.648; p = 0.002). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and hepatocellular carcinoma.
