Table 4. Multivariate analysis of factors associated with overall survival for the entire cohort LT patients.

Factor Hazard ratio 95% CI p-Value
Microscopic vascular invasion(Yes vs. No) 2.82 1.42–5.62 0.003
Differentiation (poor vs.moderate and well) 6.54 3.42–12.50 <0.001
Satellitosis (Yes vs. No) 1.93 1.03–3.61 0.04

P value was obtained by forward stepwise Cox regression model. Initially, 6 clinicopathologic variables (tumor number, tumor size, microscopic vascular invasion, differentiation, satellitosis, Milan criteria) were included in this model, and finally three factors remained as a significant variable.
