From Cox regression analyses with stratification and adjustment variables as in Table 2 footnotes, based on combined clinical trial and observational study analyses that include an interaction between hormone therapy HR and cohort (CT vs. OS) that produces the ratio of hormone therapy HR in the OS to that in the CT shown at the bottom of the Table.
