Overview of recorded variables

Baseline information Tumour or cyst specific questions Treatment characteristics
Patient characteristics Tumour/cyst characteristics* Solid lesions Cystic lesions Intervention Surgery Interventional radiology
Age Total number of lesions at baseline Focal nodular hyperplasia Simple hepatic cysts Date of intervention Type of approach (open, laparoscopic, robot) Type of procedure (aspiration sclerotherapy, TAE, RFA/MWA)
Sex Location of lesion (left hemiliver, right hemiliver, bilobar) Haemangioma Mucinous cystic neoplasms Duration of hospital stay Occurrence and reason for conversion Sclerotherapy (volume of aspiration, length of sclerosing, type of sclerosing agent)
Mortality
If yes, reason
Type of lesion Hepatocellular adenoma Intraductal papillary neoplasms Operation or procedure time Type of procedure (fenestration, wedge resection, segmental resection, hemihepatectomy, transplantation) TAE (volume and type of embolisation agent(simple embolisation, chemo-embolisation or lipiodolisation))
Comorbidity (ASA score and Elixhauser comorbidity index) Diameter, date and modality of diagnosis 30-day and 90-day mortality Specification of resected segments
Diameter, date and modality of follow-up Amount of blood loss
Occurrence of misdiagnosis
If so, revised diagnosis and diagnostic modality
Additional procedures (eg, argon beam coagulation, omental transposition, concurring cholecystectomy)
Histopathological diagnosis with immunohistochemistry if available Complications (type, CD, CCI and SIR)

*According to RECIST V.1.1 criteria, lesions will only be measured on CT or MRI (longest diameter), measured on the transversal plane on post-contrast series. Maximum of two lesions. If the target lesion is not visible on follow-up imaging (index imaging is imaging shortest before inclusion), then the diameter of the next largest tumour will be measured.

ASA, American Society of Anesthesiologists; CCI, comprehensive complication index; CD, Clavien-Dindo; MWA, microwave ablation; RFA, radiofrequency ablation; SIR, society of interventional radiologists classification for adverse events; TAE, transarterial embolisation.
