Core Tip	A novel prognostic nomogram for overall survival was developed in this study of 958 Chinese patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, using routine clinical variables. This study revealed that Karnofsky performance status, sex, diabetes status, tumor node metastasis stage, treatment, fibrinogen degradation products, β2-microglobulin, albumin, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio play significant roles in predicting patient outcomes. The model demonstrated excellent predictive accuracy (concordance index of 0.752) and clinical utility, offering a practical tool to improve personalized risk assessment and management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in Southwest China.
