AUC, area under the curve; NA, not available; NS, not significant; ROC, receiver operating characteristic.
aData are expressed as counts (%).
bData are calculated based on ungrouped baseline data.
cData are expressed as hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) calculated with Cox regression models.
dData are expressed as hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) calculated with Cox regression models with a non-parametric 95% bootstrap confidence interval (200 runs). Significant P values are marked in bold.
