Note: The dependent variable was a pathological stage (1 = stage I group, 2 = II + III stage group, 3 = stage IV group). The control variables included the course of the disease, age, sex (1 = female, 2 = male), smoking history (0 = yes, 1 = none), pathological classification (1 = adenocarcinoma, 2 = squamous cell carcinoma), and surgery (0 = no operation, 1 = surgery). Independent variables included TB-L, TB-a, TB-b, TC-L, TC-a, TC-b, TBASM, and perAll. There was no collinearity problem in any variables (VIF < 10). Therefore, only the tongue image indexes that can be entered into the regression equation are included in the table (P< 0.05).
