Multivariate analysis of different prognostic factors for survival in 335 patients with sHCC (Cox proportional hazards regression)
| Variable | Overall survival | Recurrence-free survival | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR (95% CI) | P value | HR (95% CI) | P value | |
| Tumor size (≤2.5 vs. >2.5 cm) | 2.367 (1.406–3.985) | 0.001 | 1.779 (1.259–2.514) | 0.001 |
| Tumor differentiation (well-moderate vs. poor-undifferentiated) | NA | NA | 1.678 (1.148–2.453) | 0.008 |
| Vascular invasion (absent vs. present) | 2.954 (1.781–4.900) | <0.001 | 1.699 (1.165–2.477) | 0.006 |
