  1. Univariate analyses are based on complete cases without missing values. Multivariate analyses are based on imputed values in predictors. Bold type represents statistically significant predictors of survival
  2. ALC absolute lymphocyte count, ANC absolute neutrophil count, CEA carcinoembryonic antigen, CI confidence interval, CRP C- reactive protein, Fbg fibrinogen, NLR neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio
