* The three variables
significant univariately were included in the multivariate analysis.
Thirteen other variables including age, sex, follow-up time to tumor

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. |
