Multivariable analyses of baseline quality of life (QL) scores, n=89. The final model
| Variable | Hazard ratio | 95% CI | p Value |
| Age | 1.384-150 | 1.10–0.96 | 0.005 |
| T3v T2 stage | 0.86 | 0.33–2.26 | 0.8014-151 |
| T4 v T2 stage | 1.19 | 0.32–4.40 | |
| T4 v T3 stage | 1.38 | 0.51–3.76 | |
| N stage | 1.49 | 0.74–3.01 | 0.269 |
| M stage | 0.42 | 0.24–0.74 | 0.002 |
| Physical function | 0.884-152 | 0.82–0.96 | 0.002 |
↵4-150 Hazard ratio provides the likelihood of death at any given time for a patient aged 10 years older than another patient.
↵4-151 Statistical significance of main effect of T stage on survival (2 degrees of freedom).
↵4-152 Hazard ratio provides the likelihood of death at any given time for a patient with a physical function score of 10 points more than another patient.
