Multivariate analyses of possible risk factors for recurrence-free survival of HCC using the Cox proportional hazards model
| Variable | 95% CI |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR* | lower | upper | p value | |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 1.2 | 0.83 | 1.81 | 0.3278 |
| Total body fat (cm2) | 1 | 0.99 | 1.01 | 0.8003 |
| ALB (g/dL) | 0.54 | 0.12 | 2.28 | 0.4018 |
| AFP (ng/mL) | 0.99 | 0.99 | 1 | 0.1416 |
| Leptin (ng/mL) | 1.25 | 1.07 | 1.49 | 0.0035 |
*HR represents the values with a unit increase in continuous variables. AFP, α-fetoprotein; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio.
