Figure 2 Comparison of changes in Child-Pugh score in Child A and Child B patients: patients with a serum albumin level of 3.
5 g/dL or more, low-dose epirubicin subgroups, high-dose epirubicin subgroups. A: A significant difference was noted in changes in Child-Pugh score 3 and 6 mo after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization; B: A significant difference was noted in changes in Child-Pugh score 1, 3 and 6 mo after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization; C: A significant difference was observed in changes in Child-Pugh score 3 and 6 mo after TACE; D: A significant difference was noted in changes in Child-Pugh score 3 and 6 mo after TACE; E: A significant difference was noted in changes in Child-Pugh score 3 and 6 mo after TACE. BCAA: Branched-chain amino acids; TACE: Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. aP < 0.05 vs control group.
