Reviewer's report:
Thank you very much for your prompt and sincere responses.
I have some comments for your revise.
1.  First, I am very sorry that my comment had some lacking as concerns statistical analysis.
Continuous varialbes should be expressed as median (range, or IQR) if normal distribution is
not observed.
Please reconsider this issue. Thank you very much for your response.
2.  In general,  Some facors commonly regarded as prognostic factors and factors significantly
selected as prognostic factor in univariate analysis in this situdy are together inserted into
multivariate analysis.
The possible number of inserted factors is the number of events/10.
Please consult a statistician again.
I hope you will response adequately again. Thank you very much.
