For all 307 HCC patients, the 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 54.0%, 37.3% and 33.8%, respectively. After PSM, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates in the ruptured group remained significantly lower at 41.5%, 23.5%, and 17.5% when compared with the non-ruptured group at 70.8%, 47.1%, and 37.6%, respectively, while the 1-, 3-, and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates between the groups did not differ significantly (50.4%, 35.1%, 27.1% vs 55.4%, 38.2%, 27.4%).
