*Baseline diabetes status not available for MDACC cohorts

**These cohorts compared as MDACC Set #1 was first evaluated using cut points established in Canary PASS as it is independent from previously reported patient data (MDACC Set #2; Vykoukal et al. Nat Commun 2020). Categorical variables were compared using Fisher’s Exact Test for two-class comparisons and χ2 tests for trends if more than two class comparison. Continuous variables were compared using Student T-test or Wilcoxon Rank Sum Tests depending on data normality
