Table 3 Multivariate analyses of factors associated with BFM loss percentage 1 month after surgery ≧ 14%

Factors	Odds ratio (95% CI)	p value
Initial CA19–9 ≧37 U/ml	0.47 (0.17–1.32)	0.151
Preoperative BFM < 12 kg	4.03 (1.23–13.19)	0.021
Preoperative serum albumin < 3.5 g/dl	3.13 (1.02–9.63)	0.047
Surgical margin positive	0.36 (0.10–1.33)	0.126
Postoperative complication	0.38 (0.05–2.93)	0.350
Serum CRP at 1 month after surgery ≧1 mg/dl	2.07 (0.56–7.62)	0.275
