5-FU indicates 5-fluorouracil; CI, confidence interval; FOLFIRINOX, folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan, oxaliplatin; TR, time ratio. For variables used as indicators of ever-receipt of certain chemotherapy or radiation regimens, the reference category is nonreceipt of that chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
