T cell exhaustion markers in hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma: Expression patterns and prognostic significance in an Egyptian cohort

Figure 9 Forest plot of Cox regression predictors of hepatocellular carcinoma mortality. Forest plot displaying hazard ratios (hazard ratios, 95% confidence interval) for CD8/T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage D, age, and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score. CD8/T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer D remained significant predictors of mortality. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; TIM3: T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein; BLCL: Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer; MELD: Model for End-Stage Liver Disease; HR: Hazard ratio; CI: Confidence interval.
