| MELD | 0.084 | 0.025 | 1.09 | 1.04–1.14 | 0.678 | 0.062 | >16.5 | 0.003 |
| BCLC | 0.456 | 0.187 | 1.83 | 1.12–3.00 | 0.593 | 0.044 | >3 | 0.02 |
| NLR | 0.081 | 0.039 | 1.1 | 1.01–1.2 | 0.555 | 0.056 | >2.5 | 0.03 |
| PLR | 0.003 | 0.001 | 1.003 | 1.001–1.006 | 0.563 | 0.057 | >92 | 0.01 |
Note: The CTP, MELD scores, NLR, and PLR were used as continuous variables in the model.
