NSS = Not Statistically Significant - P =>0.05

All p values included adjustment for baseline differences (age and multi-gene panel testing) between non-randomized groups

Assuming a 20% False Discovery, all statistically significant findings in table 2 would still be statistically significant

Only asked in subset of patients when applicable
