C-indices were calculated from Cox models. When the term ‘linear’ is specified in parentheses, the biological parameter was considered as a continuous variable at the original scale. When the term ‘splines’ is specified, the biological parameter was modelled using a restricted cubic spline with three knots located at the 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles (i.e. one linear component and one cubic component). When a threshold value is specified, the biological parameter was considered as a binary variable.
