Adjusted relative hazards with continuous variables. a–c The optimized number of knots applied in the multivariate analysis of CSS was 4, 6, and 3 for age, LNC, and LNR, respectively. d–f These numbers of knots were 4, 6, and 4 for the same three variables in the analysis of OS. RCS, restricted cubic spline function; CSS, cancer-specific survival; OS, overall survival; LNC, lymph node count; LNR, lymph node ratio
