Supplementary Figure S6: Sensitivity analyses for antibiotics use in relation to overall and cancer-specific survival in stage I-III and stage IV colorectal cancer. (A) Multilevel mix-effect analyses, assuming Weibull distribution and including operating hospitals as a second-level variable (n =36 061). (B) Analyses limited to colon cancer patients who underwent elective surgery (n= 21 096). (C) Analyses limited to colon cancer patients who underwent emergency surgery (n= 2 897). (D) Analyses excluding cases who died within 90 days after surgery, i.e., fatal perioperative complications (n=35 200). (E) Multilevel mix-effect analyses, assuming Weibull distribution and including treating hospitals as a second-level variable (n =11 242). (F) Analyses limited to cases with complete covariate information (n= 4 729).
