  1. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used in the univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used in the multivariate analysis. Variables were adopted for their prognostic significance by univariate analysis with forward stepwise selection (forward, likelihood ratio). Variables were adopted for prognostic significance using univariate analysis (P < 0.05). 95% CI, 95% confidence interval
