The model for the multivariate analysis includes age (continuous variable) and sex (dichotomized variable with male as the reference category), in addition to miR483-5p category (dichotomized variable with miR483-5p < 0.221 ng/ml as the reference category); stage has not been included as it correlates with miR483-5p levels. HR: hazard ratio; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval. Significant P values are indicated in italics.
