NLR, ALBI, AFP, tumor number, tumor diameter, capsule, presence of tumor satellites, tumor differentiation, and MVI were identified as prognostic factors for OS (all P<0.05, Table 2) using univariate analysis, but only NLR (HR = 1.80, 95%CI = 1.27–2.56), AFP (HR = 1.94, 95%CI = 1.38–2.75), tumor diameter (HR = 1.09, 95%CI = 1.04–1.13), and MVI (HR = 1.48, 95%CI = 1.01–2.17) remained independent risk factors for OS (all P<0.05, Table 2) in the multivariate Cox model. Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
