Dynamic CTFLV/TLV% within 3 years. The CTFLV/TLV% of individual patients as well as the mean CTFLV/TLV% at baseline and 1 year and 3 years after enrollment are shown in the graph. The patients were divided into two groups according to their 5-year survival status at the end of the follow-up. The two lines are far apart from each other, indicating that the baseline CTFLV/TLV% correlated with survival (P = 0.0531). The CTFLV/TLV% increases with time (P = 0.0005). The two lines are nearly parallel, and there is no interaction for the CTFLV/TLV% within 3 years (P = 0.1641)
