Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to evaluate the predictive value of APRI, MELD score, operation time, and blood loss for severe PHLF in HCC patients

Variables	Cut-off	AUC	Sensitivity	Specificity	P value
APRI	1.56	0.76932	73.3	73.4	0.0009**
MELD score	8.3	0.71469	66.7	75.8	< .0001**
Operating time (min)	407	0.67407	33.3	95.7	< .0001**
Intraoperative blood loss (mL)	847	0.69759	50.0	89.1	< .0001**

APRI AST-to-platelet ratio index, AST asparate aminotransferase, AUC area under the ROC curve, MELD model for end-stage liver disease; PHLF, posthepatectomy liver failure *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.001
