Prediction of postoperative outcome according to sAxl/Gas6 serum concentrations. Preoperative predictive value of sAxl and Gas6 for postoperative LD is demonstrated by ROC analysis (A). Classification according to deduced cutoffs (sAxl = 31.91 ng/mL; Gas6 = 34.42 mg/mL) demonstrates the variance of incidence among low‐risk and high‐risk subgroups for postoperative LD and morbidity (chi‐squared test) (B) as well as 90‐day mortality and severe postoperative morbidity (chi‐squared test) (C). Differences in postoperative and ICU stay are shown in (B) and (D) (two‐tailed unpaired Student t test). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.005. Abbreviation: ISGLS, International Study Group of Liver Surgery.
