Risk factors for immediate post-operative fatal recurrence after curative resection of hepatocellular carcinoma

Table 1 Univariate analysis of host factors for immediate post-operative diffuse intra-hepatic recurrence or multiple distant recurrence after curative resection for HCC

Host factor	Patients (%) or (mean ± SD)		P
	Fatal recurrence group	Control group
Sex, male (%)	76	74	NS
Mean age(yr)	49.2 ± 9.9	52.1 ± 10.4	NS
HCC-related symptom	50	31	0.04
Child’s classification A/B/C	90/10/0	90/9/1	NS
ICG R-15 (%)	14.6  ±  11.3	13.4  ±  8.6	NS
Serum ALT (nkat/L)	1185  ± 1285	1034  ±  944	NS
Serum AST (nkat/L)	1649  ± 1259	1125 ± 1539	NS
HBs Ag positivity	77	74	NS
HCV Ab positivity	13	8.4	NS
Serum AFP level (μg/L)	10 447.4 ± 12 931.9	23045  ± 6 660	0.00
Histologic grade of hepatitis 0, 1, 2/3, 41	86.7/13.3	92.8/7.2	NS
Histologic stage of cirrhosis 0, 1, 2/3, 41	15.8/84.2	19.2/80.8	NS

¹Data in each parameter showed less than 2% missing rate, but histologic grade of hepatitis and histologic stage of cirrhosis showed 9% and 10.5% data missing rate, respectively.
