Child–Pugh B (HR = 3.667, 95%CI = 1.135–11.845, P = 0.030) and MMP1 expression (HR = 1.424, 95%CI = 1.020–1.987, P = 0.038) for DSS (Table 5), so as tumor-bearing status (HR = 14.440, 95%CI = 8.484–24.580, P < 0.001), vascular invasion (HR = 1.536, 95%CI = 1.009–2.337, P = 0.045) and MMP1 expression (HR = 1.204, 95%CI = 1.003–1.446, P = 0.047) for PFI (Table 6). The gene discussed is MMP1; the disease is neoplasm.
