Table 3.

Between-country (referent: US) comparison of hazard risk of mortality with associated 95% confidence intervals (CI) in patients grouped by clinical features. Unadjusted (uHR) and adjusted (aHR) hazard ratios were estimated using Cox proportional hazards model stratified by year of diagnosis.

As an example, multivariable stratified proportional hazards model for males included age at diagnosis, tumor count, AML subtype, and regional deprivation; multivariable stratified proportional hazards model for APL patients included sex, age at diagnosis, tumor count, and regional deprivation.
