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

Table 3

(a) Shown is the final multivariable model with preoperative risk factors only for 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 independently and significantly whereas odds ratios smaller than 1 with a significant p value indicate variables that decrease the risk of mortality within 10 years independently and significantly

(b) Shown is the final multivariable model with preoperative and perioperative risk factors for 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 independently and significantly whereas odds ratios smaller than 1 with a significant p value indicate variables that decrease the risk of mortality within 10 years independently and significantly
