In the PSM cohort, the multivariate analysis including Child-Pugh score yielded the following: (HR 3.83 [95% CI, 1.57−9.31; p = 0.003]), CNLC stage (HR 1.39 [95% CI, 0.31−6.17; p = 0.668]), ascites (HR 1.16 [95% CI, 0.27−4.93; p = 0.843]), AFP (HR 1.65 [95% CI, 0.71−3.81; p = 0.241]), largest tumor size (HR 1.39 [95% CI, 0.31−6.17; p = 0.668]), and anti-HCV (HR 3.48 [95% CI, 0.60−20.30; p = 0.165]), respectively (Table 3). Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
