B. ERCC1 expression categorised by pre-determined H-score cutpointsa
Hazard ratio
Normal/increased vs decreased 3.4 (0.4–25.9) 0.24 1.8 (0.4–8.1) 0.42
Increased vs normal/decreased
4.8 (1.7–13.2)

C: Categorised ERCC1, also controls for p16 (p16-positive oropharyngeal tumour vs other)a
Hazard ratio
Normal/increased vs decreased 3.4 (0.4–25.5) 0.24 1.9 (0.4–8.3) 0.40
Increased vs normal/decreased 4.6 (1.6–13.2) 0.004* 5.2 (1.5–18.3) 0.01*

Models were stratified by randomization strata (including N-stage) and controlled for treatment arm.
