In regard to factors affecting OS in gastric cancer patients, the univariate analysis disclosed that tumor AKIP1 high expression (P = .046, HR: 1.519 [95%CI: 1.008‐2.289]) was correlated with worse OS, and higher pathological grade (P < .001, HR: 2.440 [95%CI: 1.674‐3.558]) and higher TNM stage (P < .001, HR: 2.077 [95%CI: 1.459‐2.958]) also correlated with decreased OS in gastric cancer patients (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene AKIP1 and gastric cancer.
