Different Risk Profiles for the Postsurgical Prognosis of Gastric Cancer Patients with Different Blood Types: The FIESTA Study.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: We here attempted to evaluate the prediction of different "ABO" blood groups for postsurgical gastric cancer-specific mortality by using data from the ongoing Fujian prospective investigation of cancer (FIESTA) study. Methods: Initially, a total of 3413 patients with gastric cancer were consecutively enrolled between January 2000 and December 2010 to receive radical gastrectomy, and they were followed up until December 2015. Study patients were divided into the "O+" group and the blood type "O-" group. Results: Of 2781 eligible patients, 1116 (40.1%) were in the "O+" group and 1665 (59.9%) in the "O-" group, with mortality rate of being 45.0% (n = 502) and 45.3% (n = 755), respectively. A 1:1 propensity score match between the "O+" and the "O-" groups was used. After adjustment
