Hgb indicated hemoglobin; RBC, red blood cell. Shown above are high-risk patterns present in the population, with n representing the number of patients in the derivation cohort in each pattern. The event rate within each pattern and HR (95% CI) are shown for each pattern based on univariate Cox models for ranking purposes. Units for each variable are shown in Table 1.
