Prognostic accuracy of the sequential use of risk scores during repeated TACE rounds to predict mortality

Risk scores	Likelihood ratio (χ2)	Linear trend (χ2)	AIC
mHAP-II	22.61	24.43	1432.53
mHAP	14.67	19.67	3412.29
HAP	13.97	14.19	2296.98

The model with a higher χ2 value by the likelihood ratio test and the linear trend test was considered the better model for homogeneity and discriminatory ability. Furthermore, lower values for Akaike information criteria were considered indicative of better discriminatory ability
