  1. Variables with unadjusted p-values < 0.3 from the univariate analysis (Table 2) were included in the multivariate analysis. Unadjusted p-values were obtained from a likelihood ratio test and reported as exact values (n = 68 independent samples from patients).
  2. HR hazard ratio, CI confidence interval.
