MW: Mann-Whitney test (nonnormally distributed data); t-test: Student's t-test for unpaired variates (normally distributed data). Data shown as for nonnormally distributed data: median (interquartile distance); for normally distributed data: mean (standard deviation). Predictors of survival are univariate predictors from Table 5.
