Core Tip	This study identifies Child-Pugh stage, number of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA load as independent risk factors for acute liver injury following TACE in patients with HBV-related intermediate to advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. We constructed a practical nomogram that integrates these variables, providing a validated tool for individualized preoperative risk stratification to optimize perioperative management and treatment planning for this specific population.
