Cumulative incidence (Fine and Gray) of mortality and Kaplan–Meier survival curves among patients with high and low SAT radiodensity.

(A) The cumulative incidence functions for patients with high SAT radiodensity and those with low SAT radiodensity were plotted and compared using the sub-distribution hazard as proposed by Fine and Gray. Patients with high SAT radiodensity had a higher cumulative incidence for mortality. (B) Kaplan–Meier curves were applied to estimate survival over time, and the comparison between curves was performed using the log-rank test. Shorter median survival was noticed in patients with high SAT radiodensity than in patients with low SAT radiodensity (log-rank test, p <0.001). SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue.
