Statistical analysis
Estimations of survival were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Patients that developed disease recurrence (recurrence group) and those
that did not (remission group) were compared using the Fisher’s exact
test for qualitative variables and the Mann-Whitney test for
quantitative variables. A p-value < 0.05 was considered
statistically significant. Statistical analysis was performed using
GraphPad Prism version 8.4.2.
