Results of multivariate analyses of potential prognostic factors for event-free survival in patients with HCC

Variable	Coefficient	SE	Relative risk	p value
BTR (≥5 vs. < 5)	1.240	0.415	3.454	0.0028
ALT (≥42 vs. < 42 IU/l)	1.045	0.418	2.841	0.0124
AT VO2 (≥11.5 vs. < 11.5 ml/min/kg)	1.004	0.412	2.730	0.0148

SE standard error, BTR branched chain amino acid/tyrosine ratio, ALT alanine aminotransferase, AT anaerobic threshold, VO₂ oxygen consumption.
