aHazard ratio was mutually adjusted for IHC4-score, C-score, age, treatment, and, in the combined model, study

bHazard ratio was mutually adjusted for IHC4-score, age, PREDICT-score (which combines information on lymph-nodal involvement, histologic grade, patient age, tumor size, and mode of detection—because we did not have data on mode of detection, this was not computed), treatment and, in the combined model, study
