Core Tip	Post-hepatectomy liver failure, a serious complication, poses a serious threat to patients’ postoperative survival rate and quality of life. Therefore, to avoid this, the preoperative prediction of post-hepatectomy liver failure is crucial. This study revealed that portal vein width, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and the albumin-bilirubin score are independent risk factors for post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). We developed a nomogram model based on blood indicators combined with imaging indicators, and this study was the first to combine imaging indicators of portal vein width to construct a prediction model that can highly predict PHLF.
