Background Prediction of early mortality after hepatectomies for hepatocellular carcinoma is essential to identify high‐risk patients and to decrease the operative mortality rate. Several post‐operative clinical risk scores were developed recently to predict mortality post‐hepatectomy; however, which one is the best remains undefined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the different post‐operative clinical risk scores in predicting early mortality after hepatectomies....
