The Prognostic Significance of the Preoperative Full Blood Count after Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases
Table 2
Univariate survival analysis of preoperative haematological parameters as prognostic covariates in resected CRLM (Cox proportional hazards). (NB hazards ratio for continuous data reflects increase in relative risk of event with each incremental increase in covariate value of 1 unit).
