  1. DM: diabetes mellitus; HT: hypertension; ESRD: end-stage renal disease; HR: hazard ratio, aHR: adjusted hazard ratio; CI: confidence interval. p-value < 0.05: two-tailed statistical significance. Adjusted HRs based on Cox proportional hazards were calculated after adjustment for age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, end stage renal disease, and synchronous basosquamous cell carcinoma.
