Significance of the difference in number of events between subtypes and remainder of the subtypes was determined using a two sided Fisher’s exact test, corrected for multiple testing using a Family Wise Error Rate. Bolded entries indicate p-values significant at 0.1 level. An asterisk indicates p-values significant at 0.01 level. Also see Figure S5 and Tables S2, S4 and S6.
