  • ↵5-150 Hazard ratio provides the likelihood of death at any given time for a patient aged 10 years older than another patient.

  • ↵5-151 Statistical significance of main effect of T stage on survival (2 degrees of freedom).

  • ↵5-152 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.
