Survival distributions associated with autoantibody levels stratified by stage and initial treatment. Log-rank test comparison of survival distributions by grouped level (4th quartile [Q4]) and, hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) from age- and sex-adjusted Cox-proportional hazards models
