*UBR5low expression: H-scores of UBR5 < 130; UBR5high expression: H-scores of UBR5 ≥ 130; CD163low expression: Density of CD163 < 15 cells/mm2; CD163high expression: Density of CD163 ≥ 15 cells/mm2
**Statistical significance was calculated by Chi squared test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical/binary measures and ANOVA for continuous measures
P-value for this item is less than 0.05 and there is a statistical difference between the corresponding two groups of data
