Multivariate survival analysis of 70 patients with gastric cancer.

Covariates	HR	95% CI		P-value
		Lower limit	Upper limit
TNM stage I	1 (reference)	-	-	-
stage II	1.20	1.01	1.45	0.048
stage III	1.34	1.05	1.70	0.017
stage IV	3.17	1.38	6.77	0.004
Survivin*	1.34	1.14	1.53	< 0.001

HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; * the HR associated with Survivin levels indicates the increase of death risk for 100-fold increase in Survivin expression.
