The gender, age, WBC level and the nodal width had significant differences in univariate analysis (P = 0.026, < 0.0001, 0.003 and < 0.0001, respectively). The nodal width remains strong significance in multivariate analysis (P < 0.0001). WT: Value of nodal width. ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; AFP: α-fetoprotein; PLT: Platelet; WBC: White blood cell.
