Univariate analysis of AFP kinetics as predictors of post-LT HCC recurrence
| AFP evaluation | Univariate HR (95% CI) | P | AIC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static AFP at LT | 1.00 (1.00–1.00) | 0.04 | 431 |
| AFP (continuous) | 2.61 (0.93–7.35) | 0.07 | 431 |
| AFP > 400 | 2.23 (0.69–7.25) | 0.18 | 432 |
| AFP > 500 | |||
| AFP slope (continuous) | 1.00 (1.00–1.00) | 0.10 | 432 |
| AFP slope > 7.5 ng/mL per month | 2.90 (1.21–6.92) | 0.02 | 429 |
