  1. p Values correspond to two-sided Wald tests evaluating the null hypothesis that the hazard ratio (HR) for each variable is equal to 1. RlapsRisk BC scores are derived from inferences made on the CANTO external validation WSIs, while the model has been trained exclusively on the discovery cohort, remaining blind to the external validation data.
