Table 4.
The risk estimation of analysed variables and clinical status for histological grade 3 in breast cancer patients (logistic regression adjusted for age)
| Variables | P value | OR | 95% CI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 3 | ↑ Methylation of SNAI2 in PT | 0.038 | 0.61 | 0.39–0.97 |
| Ki-67 proliferation index > 20% | 0.002 | 17.34 | 2.89–103.88 |
−2 Log likelihood = 31.62; R2(Cox and Snell) = 0.43; R2(Nagelkerke) = 0.60
Abbreviations: PT primary tumour, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, ↑ continuous variable. Age and DNA methylation of EMT related genes, hormone receptor and HER2 status, histological type and Ki-67 proliferative index were analysed as independent variables, significant results are shown in the table
