  1. The model with a higher χ2 value by the likelihood ratio test and the linear trend test was considered the better model for homogeneity and discriminatory ability. Furthermore, lower values for Akaike information criteria were considered indicative of better discriminatory ability
  2. AIC Akaike information criteria, mHAP modified hepatic arterial-embolization prognostic
