Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; H, high; HR, hazard ratio; IQR, interquartile range; KPS, Karnofsky Performance Scale; L, low; MGMT, O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase; NLR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.

Complete resection denotes near gross total resection and gross total resection. High ΔNLR denotes an average of ≥6. ΔNLR signifies a change in NLR from preoperative to postoperative NLR values = postoperative NLR—preoperative NLR.
