Results Multilevel analyses revealed that there was a marginally significant association between elevated PLT level (> 215 × 10 9 /L) and unfavorable progression‐free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio 2.42, P = 0.05), whereas preoperative FIB and D‐D were not significant prognostic factors for PFS ( P = 0.31 and 0.30, respectively).
