Note. AUROC: area under the receiver operating characteristic; SE: standard error; CI: Confidence Interval Categories for lymphocyte counts exclude the value shown for the upper end of the range.

^a: P < .05 versus <300/mm³ category and P < .05 versus 300–500/mm³ category.

^b: P < .05 versus <300/mm³ category, P < .05 versus 300–500/mm³ category, and P < .05 versus 500–700/mm³ category.
