According to this index, the three strongest predictors of survival in untreated hepatocellular carcinoma were the BCLC classification (C-index: 0.717; SE: 0.017; 95% CI: 0.750–0.864), serum albumin level (C-index: 0.713; SE: 0.020; 95% CI: 0.674–0.752), and Child–Pugh Score (C-index: 0.677; SE: 0.018; 95% CI: 0.642–0.712. Here, ALB is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
