Accuracy of Pretransplant Imaging Diagnostic for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Retrospective German Multicenter Study

Figure 3

Multivariate Cox regression analysis of recurrence-free patient survival (a) and overall patient survival (b). Multivariate Cox regression analysis regarding overall patient survival and recurrence-free patient survival showed no significant influence of regarding primary tumor stage (pT), microvascular invasion, (V) and number of tumor nodules or maximum tumor diameter pretransplant as well as posttransplant. However, there was a significant elevated risk of patients death and tumor recurrence in patients with undifferentiated tumor grading (hazard ratio 2.353 G3 stage versus G1 stage; P=0.041 for patient survival and hazard ratio 2.739 G3 stage versus G1 stage; P=0.016 for recurrence-free survival).
