ALBI, albumin-bilirubin; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine transaminase; AST, aspartate transaminase; BMI, body mass index; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase; INR, international normalized ratio

*MELD score was not included in the multivariate analysis due to interference with bilirubin

**ALBI score was not included in the multivariate analysis due to interference with albumin and bilirubin
