We did not observe an association between survival and Child score (P = 0.193), hypoalbuminemia (P = 0.264), high alphafetoprotein (≥ 400 ng/ml) (P = 0.158), high GOT/AST levels (≥ 100 U/L) (P =0.059), extrahepatic disease (P = 0.632), hepatic encephalopathy (P = 0.903), previous RE (P = 0.956), or any treatment prior to sorafenib (P = 0.068). Here, AFP is linked to Hypoalbuminemia.
