Continuous variables consistent with normal distribution were expressed as mean ± SD and compared by Student’s t-test. Continuous variables consistent with non-normal distribution were expressed as median ± IQR and compared by rank-sum test. Categorical variables were compared by chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, as appropriate. Child-Pugh C status on postoperative day 7. IOERT, intraoperative electron radiotherapy; SD, standard deviation; SDRVO, selective and dynamic region-specific vascular occlusion; IQR, interquartile range; KPS, Karnofsky performance status; RILD, radiation-induced liver disease.
