Core Tip	We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the correlation between hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression and clinical outcome in gastric cancer patients, and reported that HIF-1 positive expression indicates a poor prognosis for patients with gastric cancer. This is the first comprehensive and detailed meta-analysis to assess the association of HIF-1α positive expression with 5-year overall survival and tumor clinicopathological features for gastric cancer patients. We believed that the results will provide useful information for clinical decision-making regarding gastric cancer.
