  1. GIST=Gastrointestinal stromal tumours. The 37 GIST patients who suffered tumour recurrence after R0 resection (see Table 1 legend) were analysed to calculate the β-coefficients defining hdar. Among these 37 GIST patients, a total of 33 deaths occurred in 150.7 patient years. Standard errors (s.e.) and P-values are listed for each β-coefficient.
