Quantile regression was estimated using PROC QUANTREG in SAS 9.4. Both models were adjusted using inverse probability of treatment propensity score weights. DD = diference-in-differences; TKI = tryosine kinase inhibitor.

Two-sided difference-in-difference P value.

Means were estimated via linear regression using a generalized estimating equation with an identity link and normal distribution. Models were estimated using PROC GENMOD in SAS 9.4.
