Kaplan–Meier survival curves of the changes in systemic inflammatory and nutritional markers (A-E) including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), which were selected through X-tile. NLR (α) ≤ − 15%, LMR (α) > − 61%, PLR (α) ≤ − 19%, SII (α) ≤ 12%, CAR (α) ≤ 173% were all associated with a preferable 3-year OS (P < 0.05)
