as an Entity With a High Rate of Surgical Cure

table 4. Multivariate Analysis of Selected Variables on Endpoints in 67 Patients

Variable^*	Recurrence	Death

Child-Pugh class A vs. B	0.23 (0.11-0.51), P < .001	0.24 (0.10-0.57), P = .001
Early vs. overt HCC	0.31 (0.15-0.65), P = .002	0.26 (0.09-0.73), P = .01
Cancer spread, no vs. yes	0.40 (0.22-0.74), P = .003	0.60 (0.32-1.16), P = .13

^* The three variables significant univariately were included in the multivariate analysis. Thirteen other variables including age, sex, follow-up time to tumor detection, platelet count, -fetoprotein, hepatitis B virus antigen, indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes, hepatectomy procedure, tumor-free surgical margin, blood loss, capsular formation, cirrhosis, and dysplastic nodule were not significant univariately. Values presented are estimated relative risks with corresponding 95% CIs and P values from two-sided Wald’s test of Cox model estimates.
