Treatment allocation (HR = 0.614, 95% CI = 0.421–0.897), Child–Pugh class (HR = 1.357, 95% CI = 0.960–1.939), HBsAg (HR = 1.385, 95% CI = 0.960–1.996), ALB level (HR = 0.973, 95% CI = 0.949–0.997), TBIL level (HR = 1.002, 95% CI = 1.000–1.003) and tumor number (HR = 1.545, 95% CI=1.022–2.336) were potential risk factors of DFS (Table 2). Here, ALB is linked to neoplasm.
