Patients who died were older, had a higher proportion of diabetes, tumor size ≥5 cm, AFP ≥ 400 ng/mL, higher total bilirubin (TBIL), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), creatinine (Cr), and international prothrombin ratio (INR), and lower albumin levels (allp < 0.001) than those who survived. Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
