Univariate analysis identified nine factors to be significantly associated with npRQ < 0.85: age (p = 0.0042), body mass index (p = 0.0259), presence of LC (p < 0.0001), presence of HCC (p = 0.0055), ALBI grade (p < 0.0001), prothrombin time (PT, p < 0.0001), platelet count (p = 0.0003), total cholesterol (p = 0.0044), and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) to tyrosine ratio (p = 0.0009) (Table 2). Here, F2 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
