Survival outcome of patients with spontaneously ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma treated surgically or by transarterial embolization

Figure 3 Comparison of Child-Turcotte-Pugh and Model for End-stage Liver Disease scores in the three treatment groups. A: The surgical group had better reserve hepatic function [Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) class] than the other two groups (both P < 0.01); B: Mean Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score was higher in the supportive care group than in the other two groups (both P = 0.01), but was not different in the surgical and transarterial embolization (TAE) groups (P = 0.24).
