a

Hazard ratios are compared to their respective negative controls.

b

Gross total (GTR) and near total (NTR) resection were compared to subtotal resection(STR).

c

Designates variables treated continuously in the analysis.

– Variables not included in the multivariate cox analyses. EOR = extent of resection; KPS = Karnofsky performance status score. Bold p-values indicate meeting significance after controlled for false discovery rate (see methods for details).
