MPI multidimensional prognostic index, HR hazard ratio, 95% CI 95% confidence interval

*Harrell’s C-index for the model with age, sex, education, marital status, smoking status = 76.4 [mean increase on C for the model with also MPI of 4.5 (SE 0.004), p < 0.0001]

**Harrell’s C-index for the model with only age and sex = 75.4 [mean increase on C for the model with age, sex, education, marital status, smoking status and MPI of 3.3 (SE 0.004), p < 0.0001]
