- Abbreviations: BMI body mass index, ASA American Society of Anesthesiology, pT pathologic tumor, pN pathologic nodal status
- †Only factors found to be statistically significant, except for total number of LN examined, reported. For all variables, refer to Additional file 4: Table S1
- ap values indicate a relative statistical significance for each category compared to the reference category in each variable (HR 1.00)
- *Differentiated histology included papillary adenocarcinoma, well-differentiated and moderately-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. Undifferentiated histology included poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell adenocarcinoma, and mucinous carcinoma. Others included adenosquamous, squamous, neuroendocrine, etc.
