Ret Coh indicates retrospective cohort; Pro coh, prospective cohort; NCC, nested case-control; NR; not reported.

F4-150

Percentage reflects the proportion of patients surviving 6 months conditioned on surviving to the short-term survival endpoint.

F4-151

Study performed on a subset of validation cohort.

Denominator could not be determined exactly, but was in the range of 39 to 49.
