Relative risk:1.91, 95% CI: 1.04–3.02.
Relative risk:3.33, 95% CI: 1.77–6.24.
Relative risk:2.93, 95% CI: 1.31–6.11.
Cox Proportional Hazards model showed that vascular invasion, including macrovascular and microvascular invasion, as well as AFP level >400 IU/L were risk factors for tumor recurrence after OLT.
