Study of liver cirrhosis over ten consecutive years in Southern China

Table 8 Odds ratios of different etiologies with respect to the complications of hepatocellular carcinoma

Complication	HBV cirrhosis	HCV cirrhosis	Alcoholic cirrhosis	Autoimmune cirrhosis	Mixed etiology	Cryptogenic cirrhosis	Others
	(n = 6239)	(n = 226)	(n = 459)	(n = 163)	(n = 400)	(n = 237)	(n = 356)
HCC (Y/N)	2118/4121	51/175	41/418	4/159	97/303	57/180	325/31
OR	1.00	0.54	0.16	0.05	0.58	0.60	0.20
95%CI		0.38-0.75	0.11-0.22	0.02-0.17	0.45-0.74	0.44-0.83	0.13-0.31
P value		< 0.001	< 0.001	< 0.001	< 0.001	0.002	< 0.001

Others: cases excluding the six previous etiologies. The OR (95%CI) was calculated with a multivariate logistic model adjusted for age, gender, year, birthplace (Cantonese, Other Chinese, Foreigner), and Child-Pugh value using the stepwise forward method, and the P values were determined by unconditioned logistic regression. HBV: Hepatitis B virus; HCV: Hepatitis C virus; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
