Table 2. Prognostic value of a FHX of gastric cancer in the Asian and internationally validated multivariate prognostic models.

Variables in model		OS		DSS
		Adjusted HR for FHX of gastric cancer (95% CI)	P	Adjusted HR for FHX of gastric cancer (95% CI)	P
Asian validated prognostic model [18]	FHX+age+tumor depth+No. of metastatic LN+No. of harvested LN+distant metastasis+extent of resection	0.842 (0.676–1.049)	0.125	0.958 (0.752–1.220)	0.727
Internationally validated prognostic model [19]	FHX+age+sex+Lauren type+tumor location+tumor size+No. of metastatic LN+No. of harvested LN	0.840 (0.673–1.047)	0.121	0.963 (0.755–1.228)	0.762

FHX = family history; OS = overall survival; DSS = disease-specific survival; HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval; LN = lymph node.
