Risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis due to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A multicenter, case-control study

Table 2 Variables associated with presence of hepatocellular carcinoma on multivariate analysis¹

Variable	Univariate P value	Multivariate OR 95%CI	Multivariate P value
Age	0.002	1.08 (1.032-1.13)	0.001
Gender	< 0.001	4.34 (1.83-10.31)	< 0.001
BMI	0.22	0.96 (0.90-1.02)	0.20
Ethnicity	0.15	0.300 (0.090-0.994)	0.045
Platelet count	0.14	1.004 (1.00-1.01)	0.14
CVD	0.09	1.21 (0.61-2.41)	0.58
Gastroesophageal varices	0.07	1.43 (0.63-3.21)	0.39
Complications of cirrhosis	0.03	1.15 (0.43-3.02)	0.78

¹The final model was selected by combining clinical judgment and statistical assessment. We included variables with P < 0.1 in univariate analysis and variables that are considered as known confounders. CVD: Cardiovascular disease; BMI: Body mass index.
