Multivariate analysis for OS
| MVA for Overall Survival (p < 0.0001) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Covariate | b | Exp (b) | 95% CI of Exp (b) | p |
| Liver | 0.5512 | 1.7353 | 1.1824 to 2.5467 | 0.0051 |
| Brain | 0.4889 | 1.6306 | 1.0786 to 2.4650 | 0.0211 |
| NSCLC vs. others | −1.3823 | 0.251 | 0.1707 to 0.3691 | <0.0001 |
| ECOG PS | 0.8449 | 2.3278 | 1.8642 to 2.9067 | <0.0001 |
Table 5 shows that liver and brain metastases are independent predictors of poor OS regardless of histology (p = 0.0051 and p = 0.0211 respectively).
