Prognostic effects in 7,620 GC patients depending on different cut-off ELN counts

Cut-off ELN count	Number of patients with ≤ cut-off ELN count	χ²	P
P values were calculated by the log-rank test for survival curves that were generated by the Kaplan-Meier method. *, the most appropriate cut-off value of the ELN count was 31 (P<0.05).
