Patients have on or more adverse effect.
Variables are depicted as the frequency with percentages in parenthesis.
χ2-test or Fisher exact test was used for statistical analysis.
All results were considered significant if the P value was <.05.
CMN cohort = patients with liver cancer received pre- and post-operative comprehensive nursing care, NNC cohort = patients with liver cancer did not receive any kind of nursing care, χ2-test = Chi-square test.
