Fig. 2From: Impact of preoperative white blood cell count on outcomes in different stage colorectal cancer patients undergoing surgical resection: a single-institution retrospective cohort studyOverall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) after weighting by the Kaplan–Meier method and the weighted Cox proportional hazards model after IPTW. A The 5-year OS rate was significantly worse in the high preoperative WBC group than in the low preoperative WBC group (71.6% vs. 74.3%, p < 0.0001); B The 5-year DFS rate was significantly worse in the high preoperative WBC group than in the low preoperative WBC group (70.5% vs. 73.2%, p = 0.0028). OS, overall survival; DFS, disease-free survival; IPTW, inverse probability of treatment weighting; WBC, white blood cellBack to article page
