Figure 3.
Hazard ratios of individual parameters regarding PFS prediction depicted with 95% confidence intervals after using the Cox-proportional hazards model. Values >1 indicate a bad influence on PFS with higher grade of the parameter. Exception are the thrombocytes with lower values increasing the hazard ratio. Age is grouped in 10-year steps for better representability. Main vessel means macroscopic main vessel infiltration. (Cox Regression).
