Post-transplant infection improves outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma patients after orthotopic liver transplantation

Figure 2 Influence of post-transplant infection on overall survival and recurrence-free survival of transplant hepatocellular carcinoma patients subgrouped by vascular invasion status. A: Kaplan-Meier overall survival (OS) curve for patients with vascular invasion (VI) classified according to the post-transplant infection (PTI) status (P = 0.003); B: Kaplan-Meier OS curves for patients without VI classified according to the PTI status (P = 0.404); C: Kaplan-Meier recurrence-free survival (RFS) curve for patients with VI classified according to the PTI status (P = 0.003); D: Kaplan-Meier RFS curve for patients without VI classified according to the PTI status (P = 0.251). PTI: Post-transplant infection; OLT: Orthotopic liver transplantation.
