  • a Combined clinical predictors were age, ECOG score, and mean serum LDH level; the conventional imaging predictor was the presence of atypical image findings. P value refers to the significance in the difference of the C-indices between the combined model and the single model assessed using “CompareC” (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/compareC/index.html) in the R statistical and computing software.
