  • * Wilcoxon rank-sum test comparing characteristics between patients with and without RP.

  • ECOG = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; AJCC = American Joint Committee on Cancer; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; PDL1 = programmed cell death ligand 1.

  • Qualitative data are number and percentage; continuous data are median and range.
