Core Tip	Transcatheter arterial infusion chemotherapy is one of the therapeutic approaches for hepatocellular carcinoma. In this study, multivariate Cox regression analyses demonstrated that no prior transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, lactate dehydrogenase < 230 IU/L, and performance status of 0 were the independent favorable prognostic factors. The prognostic index based on a combination of these three prognostic factors successfully categorized the patients into three groups with good, intermediate, or poor prognoses. This index may assist in the prediction of response to transcatheter arterial infusion chemotherapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
