Final PFS and OS model contains focal BM FDG uptake result only. The other P values show the results of other variables added one-by-one to the final model. FLIPI-2 was not entered in the multivariate model due to the high percentage of missing values (70%); the combined focal BM FDG uptake result and the BMB result were not entered due to high correlation with FDG uptake and BMB results.
