Time-varying multivariate Cox regression models for OS adjusted for age, sex, year of diagnosis, type of induction treatment and exposure to consolidation and maintenance treatment
| Variable | Hazard ratio (95% CI) |
|---|---|
| Age at diagnosis (< 50 years, reference) | |
| 50–64 years | 1.62 (1.23–2.13) |
| ≥ 65 years | 2.13 (1.55–2.93) |
| Sex (female, reference) | |
| Male | 0.90 (0.76–1.06) |
| Year of diagnosis (2005–2012, reference) | |
| 2013–2016 | 0.74 (0.59–0.93) |
| Type of induction regimen (IMiD-containing, reference) | |
| Non-IMiD-containing | 1.21 (0.93–1.58) |
| Exposure to consolidation therapy (no, reference) | |
| Yes, < 1 year* | 9.45 (5.25–17.00) |
| Yes, 1–2 years* | 3.87 (2.11–7.08) |
| Yes, ≥ 2 years* | 1.19 (0.6 5–2.18) |
| Exposure to maintenance therapy (no, reference) | |
| Yes | 0.80 (0.51–1.24) |
TTNT, time to next treatment; OS, overall survival; CI, confidence interval; IMiD, immunomodulatory drug
*Refers to time from induction treatment initiation
