Risk Factors of Tumor-Free Survival Found to Be Significant (p < 0.05) by Backward Cox Proportional Hazard Regression (Multivariate Analysis)

Variable RR 95% CI
Bilobar tumor (p < 0.0001) 3.1 [1.7,5.4]
   Compared with unilobar
Tumor size (p < 0.0003)
   Compared with size ≤ 2 cm
   2–5 cm 4.5 [1.5, 13.0]
   > 5 cm 6.7 [2.2, 19.9]
Vascular invasion (p < 0001)
   Compared with none
   Micro 4.4 [2.1, 9.5]
   Macro 15.0 [6.7, 33.8]
