Variable | Low risk group (0 or 1 risk factor*) | High risk group (2 or 3 risk factors) | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
No. | 203 (69.5) | 89 (30.5) | |
Follow-up duration, mo | 44.0 (23.0–71.0) | 50.0 (26.0–77.5) | 0.267 |
Surgical recurrence | 25 (12.3) | 25 (28.1) | 0.001 |
Time to surgical recurrence, mo | 103.4 (96.7–111.3) | 84.3 (73.3–95.3) | 0.001 |
