High CONUT score predicts poor survival and postoperative HBV reactivation in HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma patients with low HBV-DNA levels

摘要

Background: Postoperative hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation (PHR) is associated with resection induced immunosuppression in patients with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is an effective index for evaluating immune-nutrition function. However, the value of COUNT in predicting PHR in HBV-HCC patients remains unknown.
