^bP < 0.01, Statistically significant.

¹The calculated P-values did not reach statistical significance with Bonferroni correction; without the correction, however, P-values were below 0.05.

²The calculated P-values reached statistical significance with Bonferroni correction. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; AIH: Autoimmune hepatitis; PBC: Primary biliary cirrhosis; CL: Chemolipiodolization; TAE: Transcatheter arterial embolization; RFA: Radiofrequency ablation therapy; PEIT: Percutaneous ethanol injection therapy; MCT: Microwave coagulation therapy; GI: Gastrointestinal.
