ypT stage remained an independent risk factor for both endpoints, significantly for PFS (HR 3.379; 95% CI 1.299–8.791; p = .013) and with a nonsignificant trend for OS (HR 2.326; 95% CI 0.900–6.015; p = .082). 3.5 IPTW ‐weighted analysis Following multivariable analysis, an IPTW‐weighted analysis was performed to further reduce confounding.
