Sensitivity analysis.

	Competing‐risk models		Sensitivity analysis
	HR (95% CI)	p	HR (95% CI)	p
RDW
<13.5%		<0.01		0.01
≥13.5%	1.54 (1.12–2.24)		2.01 (1.18–3.42)
ΔRDW
<0.9%		<0.01		0.24
≥0.9%	1.78 (1.29–2.44)		1.44 (0.79–2.63)

Note: Competing‐risk models, Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of RDW and ΔRDW were calculated by cause‐specific hazards model; Sensitivity analysis, Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated by Cox proportional hazards models when inclued early‐stage patients (stage 0–II).
