Cox regression analysis. Univariate (top) and multivariate (bottom) regression analysis of prognostic features in the AMC-AJCCII-90 set
| P-value | Hazard ratio | 95% CI | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Univariate analysis | |||
| Location | 0.884 | 1.07 | 0.430–2.662 |
| Differentiation | 0.580 | ||
| Differentiation (1) | 0.297 | 1.643 | 0.646–4.179 |
| T-stage | 0.320 | 0.534 | 0.155–1.840 |
| MSI | 0.968 | 1.021 | 0.368–2.836 |
| CFTR expression | 0.028 | 2.775 | 1.114–6.910 |
| Multivariate analysis | |||
| Location | 0.909 | 1.063 | 0.374–3.021 |
| Differentiation | 0.808 | ||
| Differentiation (1) | 0.514 | 1.398 | 0.512–3.820 |
| T-stage | 0.379 | 0.57 | 0.163–1.996 |
| MSI | 0.209 | 2.289 | 0.628–8.340 |
| CFTR expression | 0.022 | 3.584 | 1.205–10.664 |
The univariate and multivariate analysis both show that CFTR expression is an important prognostic determinant in the AMC-AJCCII-set.
