Table 2.

Univariate analysis for selected gene mutations and copy number alterations against clinicopathologic variables. “Group 1” indicates the referent variable, whilst “Group 2” indicates the comparison variable. Only comparisons where p < 0.05 are shown. NSND = non-smoker and non-drinker; SD = smokers and/or drinker; LN = lymph node; LVI = lymphovascular invasion; PNI = perineural invasion; ECS = extracapsular spread; OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval; * p < 0.05.
