C.I.: confidence interval, W/D: well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, M/D: moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, Muc: mucinous carcinoma, High: higher expression of miRNA than the threshold, Low: equal or lower expression of miRNA than the threshold. The differences were analyzed by chi-square test, log-rank test or Multivariate logistic regression analysis. P < 0.05 denotes statistically significant difference.
