Index	Univariable analysis		Multivariate analysis
	P-value	OR (95% CI)	P-value	OR (95% CI)
ALT	0.041	1.007 (1.000–1.014)	0.005	1.011 (1.003–1.019)
TP (normal/abnormal)	0.012	0.394 (0.191–0.814)	0.006	0.338 (0.157–0.731)
HBV-DNA (normal/abnormal)	0.025	0.100 (0.013–0.754)	0.015	0.073 (0.009–0.572)
CTP grade	0.026	0.375 (0.158–0.891)	0.105	0.551 (0.211–1.437)
Vs	0.031	0.482 (0.248–0.935)	0.087	0.645 (0.306–1.357)
High-risk location	0.038	1.993 (1.015–3.926)	0.047	1.967 (1.009–3.844)

Abnormal TP: TP<64 g/L; abnormal HBV-DNA: HBV-DNA>100 IU/ml.

Bold values indicate statistical significance if P < 0.05.

ALT, alanine aminotransferase; CI, confidence interval; CTP, Child–Turcotte–Pugh; HBV, hepatitis B virus; OR, odds ratio; TP, total protein.
