All variables included in the model were considered as continuous, except the AFP which was considered as categorical.
OR, odds ratio; se(OR), standard error of odds ratio; GGTP, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase; ALKP, alkaline phosphatase; AFP, alpha-fetoprotein; MTD, maximum tumor diameter; PVT, portal vein thrombosis.
