  1. Data were described as means ± standard deviations or medians as appropriate. Comparison between patients with and without post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) groups was conducted respectively in the development cohort and validation cohort. Asterisk (*) revealed comparison between development cohort and validation cohort
  2. TB = total bilirubin; AST = aspartate transaminase; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; INR = international normalized ratio of prothrombin time
