Univariate associations between somatic mutations in tumor samples and survival (left). Multivariate associations for each somatic mutation after adjusting for age at diagnosis, year of diagnosis, stage, location and tumour pathology (right). p Values are results from likelihood ratio tests. For the univariate analysis, statistical significance is indicated with * for p values <8.4 × 10–3, ** for p values <8.4 × 10–4 and *** for p values <8.4 × 10–5 after adjustment for the number of hypothesis (6). For the multivariate analysis, statistical significance is indicated with * for p values <5 × 10–2, ** for p values <5 × 10–3 and *** for p values <5 × 10–4.
