OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of the two common classifications for assessing liver function; the Child-Pugh classification and the liver damage classification. We also examined the feasibility of the modified liver damage classification. METHODS: A total of 2306 HCC patients diagnosed between 1990 and 2002 were categorized according to the three classifications. The modified liver damage classification is calculated by summation of the scores for five variables (serum bilirubin level, serum albumin level, prothrombin activity, ICG retention rate at 15min, ascites) of the liver damage classification and classified patients into grades A-C in the similar manner as the Child-Pugh classification. The differences in distribution and survival rate of the patients in each group were compared. RESULTS: With respect to the patient distribution, 1787 (77.5%) and 469 (20.3%) patients were categorized into Child-Pugh grades A and B, respectively, whereas 1187 (51.5%) and 962 (41.7%) patients were categorized into liver damage grades A and B, respectively. As a result of this disproportionate distribution, survival rates of Child-Pugh grades A and B were lower than those of the liver damage grades A and B. Furthermore, some discrepancies were found in the distribution of patients between the liver damage classification and the modified liver damage classification. One hundred and forty-one patients of the 1187 liver damage grade A patients were categorized into grade B by the modified liver damage classification and 71 patients of the 962 liver damage grade B patients were categorized into grade C by the modified liver damage classification. The survival rates of these subgroups were similar to those of the liver damage grades B and C, respectively. CONCLUSION: The modified liver damage classification appears to be the best available tool for assessing residual liver function, for estimating the survival of Japanese HCC patients and for making decisions concerning the treatment of these patients.
