Univariate and Multivariate analyses of factors associated with survival and recurrence in Training Set.

Abbreviations: OS, overall survival; TTR, time to recurrence; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; LT, liver transplantation; AFP, alpha-fetoprotein; NA, not adopted. The prognostic significance was assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and log-rank tests. In multivariate analysis variables were adopted for their prognostic significance by univariate analysis with enter-stepwise selection (p<.05) and the co-index of rs894151/rs12438080 was analyzed when both SNPs were excluded. §AB/BB represents patients with minor allele(s) at rs894151 and/or rs12438080. Pre-LT treatment, Tumor size, Tumor number, Microvessel invasion and rs894151/rs12438080 were adopted for Cox analysis for OS. While, Encapsulation, Tumor size, Tumor number, Microvessel invasion and rs894151/rs12438080 were adopted for Cox analysis for TTR.
