Demographic, clinical, and pathological data of the patients were collected and their association with STAS positivity was evaluated.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A higher preoperative monocyte count was significantly associated with STAS positivity (0.73\u00b10.63 vs. 0.58\u00b10.22; p=0.003; odds ratio=5.57; 95% confidence interval: 1.76-17.6).
