  1. Clinical model: TNM stage + differentiation; Full model: TNM stage + differentiation + MPIS. Note that information related to tumor differentiation was unavailable in the external validation set V3. The P-value is calculated to compare the difference between the clinical model and the full model by the likelihood ratio test
  2. CI confidence interval, AIC Akaike information criterion
