![Scoring further improves overall survival estimation. Patients with zero to one elevated independent significant factors from multivariate analysis (C-reactive protein [CRP], systemic immune-inflammation index [SII], alanine aminotransferases [ALT]) had a significantly longer overall survival than patients with two or three elevated factors p < 0.0001.](https://sciendo-parsed.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/647356054e662f30ba53aaae/j_raon-2021-0027_fig_003.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Content-Sha256=UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA6AP2G7AKOUXAVR44%2F20250920%2Feu-central-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20250920T232336Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-Signature=bd2c00aa6b7c76e2558eb014843be66c36309017622aef5c1acd57f59b619135&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&x-amz-checksum-mode=ENABLED&x-id=GetObject)
