  1. CI confidence interval, CT computed tomography, OR odds ratio, LLN long diameter of the largest cervical lymph node, LM long diameter of the mass, MC maxillary cancers
  2. Low T stage: T0-1; high T stage: T2-4; low N stage: N0-1; high N stage: N2-3
  3. Bold number means statistically significant
