The baseline characteristics of the two groups of patients were similar, with nonsignificant discrepancies in variables such as gender (mostly male), the Child–Pugh score (mostly A), the number of tumors (primarily solitary), tumor size (<3 cm), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), and several other important variables (Table 1). Here, GPT is linked to neoplasm.
