HR= hazard ratio
Overall, 43 observations were dropped from survival analysis because of missing observation time.
Corrected using Bonferroni method (multiplied by 12 for each model term).
Age included in analysis as a continuous variable.
Hereditary refers to bilateral or trilateral retinoblastoma, positive family history, or positive blood RB1 mutation. H0= non-hereditary, H1= hereditary
