HNSCC: head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. valuea was calculated by unconditional logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age and gender. Statistical powerb was calculated using the number of observations in the subgroup and the OR and values in this table. cThe level of false-positive report probability threshold was set at 0.2, and noteworthy findings are presented.
