Kaplan-Meier estimator curves in 158 patients with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma, categorised according to increased or decreased postoperative liver stiffness (LS), showing: (a) significantly worse overall survival outcomes in patients with increased LS versus those with decreased LS (P = 0.042); (b) significantly worse diseases-free survival in patients with increased LS versus those with decreased LS (P = 0.045); and (c) significantly worse recurrence outcomes in patients with increased LS versus those with decreased LS (P = 0.041).
