Table 5. Adjusted prognostic values of the resulting signatures in present of other clinical factors.
| Forward: AC | Forward: SCC | Backward: AC | Backward: SCC | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| β (p-value) | β (p-value) | β (p-value) | β (p-value) | |
| Signature (risk score) | 1.6(9.2×10−7)* | 1.85(0.02)* | 3.01(3.4×10−6)* | 4.24(0.02)* |
| Female versus male | −0.27(0.39) | −0.21(0.99) | −0.23(0.46) | −0.21(0.99) |
| Age | 0.03(0.08) | 0.04(0.37) | 0.03(0.11) | 0.02(0.69) |
| Smoking vs non-smoking | 0.24(0.47) | −2.18(0.05)* | 0.26(0.43) | −1.91(0.08) |
Note: β: the estimated coefficient values in the multivariate Cox regression model using the prognostic signature, age, sex, and smoking status as covariates, representing the log hazard ratio. *p-value < 0.05, which is regarded as to be statistical significance.
