Univariate and multivariate analyses of GC patient survival using the Cox proportional hazards model. ^aUnivariate survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan–Meier method; the significance was determined by log-rank test. ^bMultivariate survival analysis was performed using the Cox proportional hazards model. ^cHR: Hazard ratio ^dCI: Confidence interval. NOTE: significant values are in bold.
