Figure 3.

Forest plot displaying the estimated HR and 95% CI of ethnicity for the CSS of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma from the multivariate Cox models of all groups. The Chinese group was set as the reference. The first HR in the bottom is the crude effect of race/ethnicity followed by HRs following adjusting for contributing variables in a forward stepwise method, in order to determine their impact on CSS. (A) HR of NHW patients, where treatment was the only key factor. (B) HR of African-American patients, where Chinese patients had significantly improved survival time, which was demonstrated with univariate and multivariate analysis. (C) HR of Other Asian patients, where marital status, tumor biological and clinical variables were the key factors. (D) HR of Hispanic patients, where treatment was the only key factor. *P<0.05. HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; CSS, cause-specific survival time; NHW, non-Hispanic white; AFP, α fetoprotein.
