  1. Calculated by univariate Cox regression, receiver operating characteristic analysis and bootstrapping
  2. Bootstrap HR (95% CI): average hazard ratio across 1,000 iterations and average 95% confidence interval for hazard ratio across 1,000 iterations
  3. C-index: concordance index of the original data Cox model
  4. Bootstrap C-index: average concordance index across 1,000 iterations
  5. Bootstrap AUC: average area under the curve across 1,000 iterations
  6. * Statistically significant variables: Variables with a mean hazard ratio (HR) and corresponding mean 95% confidence interval (CI) that are entirely between 0 and 1 or greater than 1
  7. p Lymphocyte percentage value
  8. RS: Risk score, CD8 + T-cell model risk score
