Identification of possible and optimal cutoff values of MVA and SnMVA for dichotomizing NSCLC patients in order to assess the ability of these indices to predict (A) OS and (B) PFS. Results obtained with MVA (left panels) or SnMVA (right panels) using various cutoff values were used to calculate HRs (middle solid line) for high vs. low levels of MVA or SnMVA, together with the 95%CI upper limit (upper dotted line) and 95% lower limit (lower dotted line). SnMVA proved more robust than MVA because SnMVA has a wider range of possible cutoff values for OS (58.0 vs. 11.1%) and PFS (31.9 vs. 4.1%). The vertical line designates the dichotomization showing the most significant correlation with survival.
