Proposal of Two Prognostic Models for the Prediction of 10-Year Survival after Liver Resection for Colorectal Metastases

Table 1

Shown are the results of univariable binary logistic regression to determine the influence of each preoperative variable on 10-year survival after liver resection. Odds ratios greater than 1 with a significant p value (p<0.05) indicate variables that increase the risk of mortality within 10 years significantly whereas odds ratios smaller than 1 with a significant p value indicate variables that decrease the risk of mortality within 10 years.
