  1. Multivariate Cox regression analyses of TTT were performed on the 173 cases of the test set including the following covariates treated as dichotomous: β2-microglobulin (>2.2 g/L vs. ≤2.2 g/L); modified Rai staging (0-I vs. II-III-IV); FISH group (normal/13q- vs. +12/11q-/17p-); CD38 (≥ 30% vs. <30%); CD49d (≥ 30% vs. <30%); IGHV mutational status (UM vs. M); and ZAP-70.
  2. *Based on the final model after backward selection of covariates.
