Distribution of clinical characteristics stratified by NLR level ^a

Clinical features	Cases	NLR (n = 107) b		p value a
		<3.12	≥3.12
Age	107	62.17 ± 8.26	61.00 ± 9.93	0.510
Gender				0.853
Male	84	42 (50.0%)	42 (50.0%)
Female	23	12 (52.2%)	11 (47.8%)
Liver metastasis				0.004

^a Data are presented as n (%) and mean $\pm$ SD. p value as determined by two‐tailed paired Student t‐test and χ ² test.

^b Data are grouped as cut‐off (NLR < 3.12 or NLR ≥ 3.12), which is determined according to the ROC curves.
