BACKGROUND _ AIMS: Whether perioperative blood transfusions (PBTs) negatively impact oncologic outcomes after curative resection for @entity157 remains controversial. We aimed to identify the independent predictive factors of @entity19016 for curative resection of @entity157 ( @entity157 ), and to investigate the impact of @entity19016 on long-term recurrence and survivals after resection. METHODS: Of 1103 @entity1 who underwent curative liver resection for @entity157 between 1999 and 2010, 285 (25.8%) @entity1 received @entity19016 . Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were used to identify independent predictive factors of @entity19016 . Propensity scores and Cox regression analyses were used to compare the @entity1349 ( @entity1349 ) and @entity1349 ( @entity1349 ) between @entity1 who did and did not receive @entity19016 . RESULTS: Multivariable regression analysis revealed that performance status, preoperative hemoglobin, @entity82 , @entity101 , @entity5 rupture, @entity5 size, macroscopic vascular invasion, and intraoperative @entity190 were independent predictive factors of @entity19016 for @entity157 resection. Propensity score matching analysis created 234 pairs of @entity1 . Before propensity matching, @entity19016 was significantly associated with increased risks of @entity1349 (HR: 2.455, 95% CI: 2.077-2.901, p<0.001) and @entity1349 (HR: 2.018, 95% CI: 1.718-2.370, p<0.001) in the entire cohort. After propensity matching, @entity19016 was not significantly associated with increased risks of @entity1349 (HR: 1.229, 95% CI: 0.988-1.527, p=0.063) and @entity1349 (HR: 1.188, 95% CI: 0.960-1.469, p=0.113). After adjustment for other prognostic variables in the propensity matched cohort, @entity19016 was still found not to be associated with @entity1349 and @entity1349 after @entity157 resection. CONCLUSIONS: The present study identified that @entity19016 did not influence @entity1349 and @entity1349 after curative resection of @entity157 .
