Table 4.
Cox proportional hazard model for survival or recurrence after HCC surgery according to procedures (laparoscopy and laparotomy).
| Variables | Mortality | |
|---|---|---|
| Hazard Ratio (95% CI) | p-Value * | |
| Laparoscopy (hsCRP/ALB ratio >0.625) | 4.581 (2.445–8.584) | <0.001 |
| Laparotomy (hsCRP/ALB ratio >0.625) | 4.646 (2.082–10.366) | <0.001 |
| Recurrence | ||
| Hazard ratio (95% CI) | p-value * | |
| Laparoscopy (hsCRP/ALB ratio >0.500) | 1.483 (1.003–2.193) | 0.048 |
| Laparotomy (hsCRP/ALB ratio >0.500) | 1.995 (1.307–3.045) | 0.001 |
* All Hazard ratios in Table 4 are derived from four multivariate backward stepwise Cox regression model. HCC, Hepatocellular Carcinoma; CI, Confidence Interval; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive Protein; ALB, Albumin.
