Univariate and multivariate analysis of factors associated with overall survival of HCC patients
| Factors | Univariate analysis | Multivariate analysis | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hazard ratio (95% CI) | P‐value | Hazard ratio (95% CI) | P‐value | |
| FSTL5 | 0.571 (0.424‐0.771) | <0.001 | 0.601 (0.429‐0.843) | 0.003 |
| Gender | 0.937 (0.625‐1.405) | 0.753 | 0.949 | |
| Age | 0.970 (0.691‐1.362) | 0.86 | 0.994 | |
| Cirrhosis | 0.804 (0.577‐1.122) | 0.2 | 0.638 | |
| Tumor size | 1.673 (1.237‐2.263) | 0.001 | 0.513 | |
| Tumor number | 1.242 (0.718‐2.148) | 0.439 | 0.761 | |
| TNM stage | 1.720 (1.261‐2.346) | 0.001 | 1.654 (1.176‐2.326) | 0.004 |
| Histological grade | 1.102 (0.803‐1.512) | 0.549 | 0.689 | |
Hazard ratios (95% confidence interval; CI) and P‐values were calculated using univariate or multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression in IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0. A P‐value <0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
