Table 3. Disease-Free Survival according to Body Mass Index Status and Tumor SUVbw in Stage I NSCLC Patients (n = 1,197).

Univariable HR (95% CI) P Multivariable HR* (95% CI) P
Normal weight
 Low tumor SUVbw ≤ 5 (n = 304) 1.00 (referent) 1.00 (referent)
 High tumor SUVbw > 5 (n = 196) 5.93 (3.50–10.01) < 0.001 4.72 (2.77–8.06) < 0.001
Overweight/obesity
 Low tumor SUVbw ≤ 5 (n = 433) 1.00 (referent) 1.00 (referent)
 High tumor SUVbw > 5 (n = 264) 3.61 (2.23–5.83) < 0.001 2.61 (1.58–4.31) < 0.001
P for interaction 0.002 < 0.001

*The multivariable Cox regression model stratified by body mass index status included lymphovascular invasion, visceral pleural invasion, and tumor SUV variables.

NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; SUVbw, maximum standardized uptake value normalized to body weight; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval
