Time to occurrence of HCC according to the MnSOD genotype, as assessed with the Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test, P = .009; Cox model, P = The median time to occurrence of HCC was more than 180 months in Val/Val homozygotes, 153 months in Ala/Val heterozygotes, and 139 months in Ala/Ala homozygotes. In Cox multivariate analysis including age and sex, the relative risk for HCC occurrence in patients with at least 1 Ala allele was 4.59 (95% CI, 1.61–13.06) compared with Val/Val patients.

Frequency of death (or liver transplantation) in cirrhotic alcoholic patients classified according to the MnSOD genotype. χ2 test, P = .03. VV, Val/Val patients; AV, Ala/Val patients; AA, Ala/Ala patients.

5. Figure 4
Survival distribution function without liver transplantation according to the MnSOD genotype, as assessed with the Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test, P = .008; Cox model, P = .01. The median survival was 249 months in Val/Val homozygotes, 81 months in Ala/Val heterozygotes, and 82 months in Ala/Ala homozygotes. In Cox multivariate analysis including age and sex, the relative risk for death in patients with at least 1 Ala allele was 2.49 (95% CI, 1.36–4.57) compared with patients with the Val/Val MnSOD genotype.

6. Figure 5
Comparison of the MnSOD genotypic distribution in controls and in cirrhotic patients at inclusion (time of the first liver biopsy examination showing cirrhosis) and after 5 or 10 years of survival. Statistically significant differences were observed at inclusion, but were no longer observed in patients surviving for 5 or 10 years. VV, Val/Val patients; AV, Ala/Val patients; AA, Ala/Ala patients; n, number of patients.
