  • A. Relative risk (RR) estimates (95% confidence interval (CI)) adjusted for significant prognostic variables by Cox model (see table 4).

  • B. RR estimates (95% CI) adjusted for all potential prognostic variables by Cox model (age, sex, log10 (bilirubin), albumin, γ-globulins, platelets, HBeAg status).
