Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier curves generated by preoperative alkaline phosphatase (ALP) concentration, cholesterol (CHO) level, and ALP/CHO ratio (ACR) using the optimal cutoff values. (A) In the comparison of preoperative ALP concentration >108.5 U/L with preoperative ALP concentration ≤108.5 U/L (P<0.05), the blue line represents the >108.5 U/L group and the red line represents the ≤108.5 U/L group. (B) In the comparison of preoperative cholesterol level >3.49 mmol/L and preoperative cholesterol level ≤3.49 mmol/L (P=0,181), the blue line represents the >3.49 mmol/L group and the red line represents the ≤3.49 mmol/L group. (C) In the comparison of preoperative ACR >32.988 with preoperative ACR ≤32.988 (P<0.05), the blue line represents the ACR >32.988 group and the red line represents the ACR ≤32.988 group.
