Multivariate Analysis of Risk Factors for Carrying the TNF308.2 Allele in Patients with HCC.

Variables	β	SE	P	OR (95% CI)
Platelet count	-0.53	0.21	.012	0.58 (0.39–0.88)
Albumin	-4.11	1.33	.002	0.02 (0.001–0.224)
Child-Pugh grade C	2.83	1.36	.039	16.96 (1.16–248.29)

Unconditional stepwise logistic regression analysis—dependent variable: presence of TNF308.2 allele; independent variables: male gender, age > 50 years, Child-Pugh grade, platelet count, albumin, AST, ALT, and prothrombin time.
