However, the role of SOX2 in cervical cancer remains largely undetermined. This study was performed to evaluate the correlation of SOX2 with clinical characteristics and prognosis in cervical cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Multiple databases were systematically searched for eligible publications.

SOX2 expression was higher in cervical cancer than in the normal control group (OR\u2009=\u200910.83, 95% CI\u2009=\u20096.64\u201317.67, P &lt; 0.001), while no significant difference was observed between cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. SOX2 expression was not associated with age, tumor stage, and lymph node metastasis, but was correlated with tumor grade (grade 2\u20133 vs. grade 1: OR\u2009=\u20094.59, 95% CI\u2009=\u20092.76\u20137.62, P &lt; 0.001) and tumor size (\u22654\u2005cm vs. \u22644 cm: OR\u2009=\u20091.66, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.05\u20132.60, P\u2009=\u20090.028). Based on multivariate Cox analysis, SOX2 expression was not correlated with overall survival, but was closely associated with poor recurrence-free survival (HR\u2009=\u20095.83, 95%
