Multivariate analyses for predictors associated with a pCR
| Variables | OR (95% CI) | P-value |
|---|---|---|
| Not combineda | ||
| Chemo cycles | 8.918 (1.124–70.747) | 0.038 |
| Combinedb | ||
| Chemo cycles | 8.595 (1.036–71.305) | 0.046 |
| TIL–LYMR | 1.833 (1.069–3.142) | 0.028 |
Notes:
a
CD8+ TIL, chemo cycles, NLR and LYMR were analyzed.
b
Chemo cycles, NLR and TIL–LYMR were analyzed.
Abbreviations: pCR, pathologic complete response; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; TIL–LYMR, combination of CD8+TIL and LYMR; NLR, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio; TIL, tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte; LYMR, lymphocyte ratio.
