Next, a multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that clinical T stage (p = 0.001, hazard ratio [HR] = 3.085, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.514–6.286), cirrhosis (p = 0.014, HR = 2.988, 95% CI: 1.246–7.168), age (p = 0.005, HR = 1.043, 95% CI: 1.013–1.075), AFP levels (p = 0.022, HR = 1.000, 95% CI: 1.000–1.000), and HGB levels (p = 0.008, HR = 0.979, 95% CI: 0.963–0.994) were significant independent predictors of OS (Table 3). Here, AFP is linked to Cirrhosis.
