AFP alpha-fetoprotein, ALT alanine aminotransferase, AST aspartate aminotransferase, GGT γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, ALP Alkaline phosphatase, PT prothrombin time, ECOG PS Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, ALBI albumin-bilirubin, Calculated using the following equation: linear predictor = (log10 bilirubin mmol/L × 0.66) + (albumin g/L × − 0.085). The continuous linear predictor was further categorized into three different grades for prognostic stratification purposes: grade 1 (less than − 2.60), grade 2 (between − 2.60 and − 1.39), and grade 3 (above − 1.39), HTP hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and programmed cell death protein- 1 inhibitors, TTP transarterial chemoembolization combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and programmed cell death protein- 1 inhibitors, TACE transarterial chemoembolization, HR hazard ratio, CI indicates confidence interval
