Adjusted covariates: basic model: univariate analysis; core model: age, gender, and BMI; extended model: basic model plus hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, smoking, surgery type, laterality, AJCC stage, T stage, N stage, M stage, and Fuhrman grade.

Bold values means there is a statistically difference in the result.
