Cumulative % = % cumulative risk for death from lung cancer over entire 7.9 year (mean) study period HRs, 95% CIs and p-values are from Cox proportional hazards models stratified according to age, prior lung cancer, and DM trial randomization assignment.

P-value is from a Wald Chi-square test for the interaction between the given characteristic and E+P trial randomization arm.
