Multivariate analysis of factors predicting local recurrence in patients who underwent surgery (excluding pathologic Stage IV) (n = 66)

	Odds ratio	95% CI	p-value
Tumor size (>70 vs ≤70 mm)	0.59	(0.077–3.040)	0.57
Surgical site (left vs right)	2.23	(0.40–11.51)	0.32
Surgical approach (VATS vs thoracotomy)	2.53	(1.16–32.16)	0.28
Lymph node dissection (ND0/1 vs ND2)	5.37	(0.94–8.19)	0.047
Pathologic pleural invasion (positive vs negative)	0.19	(0.035–1.200)	0.074
Pathologic N status (N1/2 vs N0)	4.80	(0.96–24.76)	0.060

CI: confidence interval; VATS: video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery; ND: nodal dissection
