  1. Bold values indicates statistically significant in multivariable analysis
  2. The multiple Cox proportional hazards model used backward-stepwise variable elimination (with variable exit threshold set at P > 0.10). All potential explanatory variables included in the multivariable analyses were subjected to colinearity analysis with a correlation matrix. Variables associated with one another were not included in the model. Statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05
