The impact of APRI and Fibro-α Score on OS in 405 hepatitis-B-associated HCC patients’ post-curative resection. Plotting of survival curves was done by Kaplan-Meier methods along with log-rank test comparison. (a) Overall survival (OS) rates stratified by APRI using 0.38 as the cut-off value. Higher APRI resulted in poorer overall survival rates. (b) The rates of OS stratified by Fibro-α Score using a cut-off value of 1.78. Patients with a Fibro-α Score <1.78 had longer overall survival than those with Fibro-α Score ≥1.78. (c, d) The APRI <0.38 group exhibited a statistically better prognosis in cases with or without cirrhosis than the ≥0.38 group. (e) and (f) In patients with or without cirrhosis, a significant difference in OS between Fibro-α Score <1.78 and the ≥1.78 groups was observed.
