  1. p-value < 0.05*, 0.01**, 0.001***. Hazard ratios, 95% CI, and their corresponding p-values were calculated by Kaplan–Meier survival analysis after adjusting for remission and survival in months, and #adjusted hazard ratios, 95% CIs and their corresponding p-values were calculated by Cox regression models adjusted for age, sex, and pack-years of smoking.
