  • *Median and 95% CI were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

  • † Crude HR and 95% CI were estimated using the univariate Cox regression model.

  • ‡Adjusted HR, 95% CI and p value were estimated using the multiple Cox regression model adjusted by surgical resection, chemotherapy, sex, age group, TNM score and histology.

  • NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; TNM, tumour, node and metastasis score.
