AJCC: American Joint Committee on Cancer; SIRI: systemic inflammation response index; PLR: platelet lymphocyte ratio; NLR: neutrophil lymphocyte ratio; MLR: monocyte lymphocyte ratio; HR: hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval; Ref.: reference. ^aThe variables (grade, tumour size, TNM stage, vascular invasion, and SIRI) were tested in a multivariate analysis. ^bThe variables (grade, tumour size, TNM stage, vascular invasion, and NLR) were tested in a multivariate analysis. ^cThe variables (grade, tumour size, TNM stage, vascular invasion, and PLR) were tested in a multivariate analysis. ^dThe variables (grade, tumour size, TNM stage, vascular invasion, and MLR) were tested in a multivariate analysis.
