Multiple variables were associated with recurrence-free and overall survival. Variables displaying a p-value < 0.1 in the univariate Cox regression were transferred into a multivariable Cox regression model. The table heading is shown in grey background. ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ASA, American Society of Anesthesiologists; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; BMI, body mass index; CRP, C-reactive protein; FFP, fresh frozen plasma; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transferase; HR, hazard ratio; ICU, intensive care unit; INR, international normalized ratio; LVI, lymph vascular invasion; MVI, microvascular invasion; PVE, portal vein embolization; RFS, recurrence-free survival.
