Figure 3 Cox proportional hazards regression analysis of survival. Ultrasound-guided localization [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.58] and adequate lymph node removal (HR = 0.76) significantly improved survival in early gastric cancer patients. The risk factors included lymph node metastasis (HR = 2.46), deep tumor invasion (HR = 1.85), poor differentiation (HR = 1.79), complications (HR = 1.76), delayed recovery (HR = 1.68), large tumors (HR = 1.67), and Helicobacter pylori infection (HR = 1.49). Ultrasound guidance enhances surgical precision and thoroughness, leading to better patient outcomes. CI: Confidence interval; HR: Hazard ratio; H. pylori: Helicobacter pylori.
