*

Baseline albumin and haemoglobin concentrations are reported for 242 post-platinum patients.

206 patients were evaluable for PD-L1 expression level; non-evaluable samples (n=43) were those that were missing, of poor quality due to insufficient tumour content or cellular preservation, or otherwise not available to provide results.

Risk group 0 represents patients without any adverse prognostic factors (ie, ECOG performance status >0, haemoglobin concentration <100 g/L, and the presence of liver metastasis); risk groups 1–3 represent the presence of one, two, and three prognostic factors, respectively.4
