Multivariate analysis for recipient OS using Cox’s proportional hazard model of statistically more significant prognostic indicators such as Up-to-7 criteria, Tokyo criteria and α-SMA-positive CAF in hepatocellular carcinoma in univariate analysis.
| Predictors | Hazard ratio | |
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
| 95% CI | ||
| Up-to-7 criteriaa | 61.62 | 2.24–1697.97 |
| α-SMA-positive CAFb | 8.46 | 1.32–54.06 |
| Tokyo criteriaa | 0.03 | 0.00–1.74 |
a
Criteria were evaluated by pre-operative final imaging diagnosis.
b
α-SMA-positive CAF was categorized for three grades.
OS, overall survival; Up-to-7, Up-to-seven; α-SMA, α-smooth muscle actin; CAF, cancer-associated fibroblast; CI, confidence interval.
