DNA and RNA oxidative damage in hepatocellular carcinoma patients and mortality during the first year of liver transplantation

Figure 1 On the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the area under the curve of pre-liver transplantation serum oxidized guanine species concentrations for predicting 1-yr liver transplantation mortality was found to be 71% (95% confidence interval: 55%-88%; P = 0. 009). OGS: Oxidized guanine species; CI: Confidence interval; AUC: Area under the curve.

Figure 2 The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a higher 1-yr liver transplantation mortality risk in patients with increased serum oxidized guanine species levels prior to liver transplantation (hazard ratio = 4. 2; 95% confidence interval: 1.36-13.11; P = 0.01). OGS: Oxidized guanine species; CI: Confidence interval.
