Clinicopathological characteristics | Univariate analysis | Multivariate analysis | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
HR (95% CI) | P value | HR (95% CI) | P value | |
FIGO stage (IV vs. III vs. II) | 2.202 (1.458–3.326) | 0.000 | 1.671 (1.110–2.516) | 0.014 |
CTC/SCC combination status (Low vs. Intermediate vs. High) | 2.711 (1.790–4.106) | 0.000 | 2.386 (1.548–3.678) | 0.000 |
NOTE: CTC, circulating tumor cells; SCC-Ag, Squamous cell carcinoma antigen; FIGO, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval. The bold type represents P values smaller than 0.05.
