Development and validation of a nomogram to predict recompensation in HBV-related cirrhosis with ascites as the single first decompensating event.

Age, ALT, ALB, Na, AFP, and MVR are closely related to the recompensation. The nomogram developed based on these items can accurately predict the possibility of recompensation in hepatitis B cirrhosis patients with ascites as the single first decompensating event.
