RR = risk ratio; CI = confidence interval.
Smoking levels were categorized by using the 25th and 75th percentile pack-year values of the white patient subjects (<25th percentile, 25th–75th percentile, and >75th percentile).
Risk ratio of death of C/C (X/X) plus C/G (X/Y) versus G/G (Y/Y) genotypes was adjusted for sex, stage (III–IV/I–II), current smoking status, and age. A dominant model was assumed.
A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used. All statistical tests were two-sided.
