IQRR, relative risk comparing the 75th percentile of estimated risk (0.21) to the 25th percentile (−0.03), adjusted for actual age and sex; median survival 1st quartile, estimated median survival for subjects at the 25th percentile of estimated risk (adjusted for age and sex); median survival 4th quartile, estimated median survival for subjects at the 75th percentile of estimated risk (adjusted for age and sex).
