HR=hazard ratio.

Cox's proportional hazards regression modeling was performed to determine the association between density of immune cells and relapse of disease. In the model the cell density at the 25 and 75% percentiles was compared, densities shown for each cell type. The model was adjusted for age at diagnosis and FIGO stage.
