Quartiles and duration of treatment survival rates, along with 95% CIs were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Corresponding 95% CIs were estimated using the methods of Brookmeyer and Crowley, and Greenwood, respectively

CI Confidence interval, N total number of patients, n number of patients within a specific category

aFor minimum/maximum, ‘ + ’ indicates a censored observation
