Table 2.

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
