Risk and protective factors

Hazard ratio p
Perforation 1 0.149
Obstruction 1.961
Stage
 I + II 1 0.007
 III 1.154
 IV 4.901
CKD 1.496 0.489
BMI 2.260 0.066
Adjuvant chemotherapy/radiotherapy 0.202 0.002

In the multivariate analysis of overall survival, tumor stage was a risk factor, whereas receiving adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy was a protective factor. High BMI was associated with poor survival. Survival rates in perforation or obstruction were not significantly different
