Background. Cirrhotic severity scoring (CSS) is a noninvasive method that can predict histological severity of cirrhosis. This study is aimed at assessing the predictive value of CSS on long-term outcomes after curative hepatectomy for patients with hepatitis B virus- (HBV-) related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and Child-Pugh grade A liver function and further developing novel nomograms to preoperatively predict posthepatectomy recurrence and survival. Methods. Consecutive patients who underwent curative hepatectomy for HCC between 2008 and 2014 were retrospectively studied. According to the CSS, patients were subclassified into 3 groups: no/mild, moderate, and severe cirrhosis. The impact of CSS on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) was assessed. Furthermore, RFS and OS nomograms were developed. Results. The 5-year RFS and OS rates were 36.1% and 62.8% in the no/mild cirrhosis group, compared with 28.4% and 56.2% in the moderate cirrhosis group, and 16.2% and 33.0% in the severe cirrhosis group. Long-term survival outcomes were significantly worse with the increment of cirrhotic severity. CSS, alpha-fetoprotein level, tumor size, tumor number, and macrovascular invasion were identified as independent predictors of both RFS and OS. Besides, albumin-bilirubin grade was an independent risk factor of OS not RFS. RFS- and OS-predictive nomograms based on these preoperative variables were built. For these 2 nomograms, the C-indexes were 0.696 and 0.732, respectively. Calibration curves exhibited good agreement between actual observation and nomogram prediction. Conclusions. CSS was a predictor for long-term outcomes in HCC patients after curative hepatectomy. The novel nomograms exhibited accurate preoperative prediction of posthepatectomy recurrence and OS.
