1

ACE, Adult Comorbidity Evaluation; Q, quintile.

2

P value derived from a trend test across quintiles of dietary pattern. Each individual's dietary pattern score was set to the median score for that quintile and treated as a continuous variable in the Cox regression models. P < 0.05 was considered significant.

3

Adjusted for age, sex, tumor site, cancer stage, treatment, ACE-27 comorbidities, smoking, BMI, and total energy intake.
