Table 1 Patient characteristics before and after PSM
Figure 2 Distribution of propensity score before and after propensity score analysis.
Notes: Left upper and lower panel show the distribution of the propensity score for patients with and without resection of the primary tumor before the matching procedure. Right upper and lower panel demonstrate the distribution of the propensity score after full propensity score matching.
