Univariate and multivariate cox hazards analysis for overall survival in 228 patients with NSCLC.

HR, Hazard ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma; EGFR, Epidermal growth factor receptor; CRP, C-reactive protein; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride. *Cox hazard regression model. **BMI, body mass index, weight divided by height squared, kg/m2. †Moderately and well-differentiated histologic types were classified as differentiated carcinoma, low. differentiated histologic type was defined as undifferentiated carcinoma. ††TNM denoted tumor-node-metastasis. #Tobacco index indicated cigarettes per day multiplied years of smoking. || The EGFR mutation status was unknown in 72 patients of the whole cohort. §The cut-off value of HDL-C was 40 mg/dL in men or 50 mg/dL in women.
