  • * Hazard ratios are reported for 10-unit increase in variable.

  • Hazard ratios are reported for 5-unit increase in variable.

  • Variable was analyzed on log scale.

  • Figures reported are hazard ratios and corresponding 95% CIs. For variables measured on continuous scale, hazard ratios are reported for 1-unit increase in that variable (unless otherwise indicated). Data in parentheses are 95% CIs.
