Significance of prognostic factors available at diagnosis using size and age as constant variables in a multivariate analysis
| Factor | All tumours | Soft tissue sarcoma only | Bone tumours only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age | 1.018 | 1.016 | 1.142 |
| Size | 1.059 | 1.058 | 1.049 |
| Grade | 2.19 | 2.172 | 1.936 |
P-values all < 0.0001. Results expressed as hazard ratios (i.e. for every 1 cm increase in size, the risk of dying is increased by a factor of 1.059). Grade is split between high and low.
