We classified patients as either married or unmarried according to their recorded marital status. To minimize bias from confounders, we performed 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM). Survival outcomes, including overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS), were estimated via the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our analysis included 3315 SIST patients, of whom 2132 were married and 1183 were unmarried. Compared with unmarried individuals, married patients experienced significantly better OS and CSS (both P&lt;0.05). Multivariable analysis identified marital status as an independent predictor for both endpoints, with adjusted HRs of 1.35 (95% CI: 1.20-1.52) for OS and 1.27 (95% CI: 1.10-1.48) for CSS. Following PSM, the survival advantage for married patients persisted (P&lt;0.05 for both OS and CSS). Notably, the 5-year OS and CSS rates favored the married cohort over the unmarried cohort (75.2% vs. 64.0%, P &lt;0.001; 83.7% vs. 76.1%, P = 0.001, respectively). Subgroup analyses further revealed that the survival benefit associated with marriage was particularly evident among elderly, female, Caucasian, and surgically treated patients.<\/jats:p>\n
