AA, anaplastic astrocytomas; AO, anaplastic oligodendrogliomas; CI, confidence interval; GTR, gross total resection; HR, hazard ratio; MLR, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio; NA, not applicable; NLR, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; No., number; NOS, not otherwised speccified; NTR, near total resection; PLR, platelet-lymphocyte ratio; PR, partial resection; SIRI, systemic inflammatory response index; STR, subtotal resection. The bold values and the sign “*” meant: statistically significant (P < 0.05).
