a, ROC curves were constructed to estimate the optimal cutoff value; b, because the CPDC score was based on the D-dimer levels and CA19-9 levels, the multivariate analysis of prognostic value of CPDC score included factors with a P<0.1 in univariate analysis exclude of the D-dimer levels and CA19-9 levels; c, clinicopathological factors with a P<0.1 in univariate analysis were included in multivariate analysis. Multivariable analysis was performed using Cox regression models. Forward: LR was used in multivariate analysis.
