Abbreviations: 95% CI=95% confidence interval; CTGCT=contralateral testicular germ cell tumour; CT=chemotherapy; HR=(subdistribution) hazard ratio; TGCT=testicular germ cell tumour.

Model 1: chemotherapy (CT) entered in the model as yes vs no.

Model 2: chemotherapy (CT) entered in the model as platinum-based CT or other CT (vs none).

a

Age, centred to the mean, continuous, every 10-year increase.

b

Includes treatment for relapse/recurrence before metachronous CTGCT diagnosis.
