Scoring systems for liver function used in the study

ALBI score	−0.085 × albumin + 0.66 × log bilirubin (remarks: albumin in g/L, bilirubin in μmol/L)
MELD score	[9.57 x ln(Creatinine ÷ 88.4)] + [3.78 x ln(Bilirubin ÷17.1)] + [11.2 x ln(INR)] + 6.43 (remarks: bilirubin in umol/L, creatinine in umol/L)
Albumin-to-ALP ratio	albumin ÷ ALP (remark: albumin in g/L, ALP in iu/L)
ALP-to-platelet ratio	ALP ÷ platelet (remarks: ALP in iu/L, platelet count in 109/L)
