Methods included: non-stratified (LRt) and stratified log-rank type test (LRt-str). ((im)bal = (im)balanced variable, i.e., the groups occur with (un)equal probabilities; bin= binary variable; 10 str = 10 strata; NPH = nonproportional effect). X is the categorical covariate of interest, S the stratification covariate, D denotes the demographic variables
