  1. HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval, ref reference group.
  2. Model 1: mutKRAS ctDNA + treatment + age + sex.
  3. Model 2: variables in model 1 + ECOG performance status + Liver metastases.
  4. Model 3: variables in model 2 + mGPS + CA19-9.
  5. ANC was not included in model 3 due to the large SE.
