Table 3 The relationship between visual counting method and automated counting method of Ki-67 status and recurrence-free and cancer-specific survival in patients with invasive ductal breast cancer (univariate analysis) (n=379)
| Â | Recurrence-free survival | Cancer-specific survival | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Â | Hazard ratio (95% CI) | P -value | Hazard ratio (95% CI) | P -value |
Visual counting method | 1.95 (1.23–3.10) | 0.005 | 2.43 (1.57–3.76) | <0.001 |
Automated counting method | 1.12 (0.76–1.65) | 0.557 | 1.75 (1.13–2.70) | 0.012 |
