Survival curves of outcomes after iBCG according to BCG treatment patterns. a Recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of a total of 2669 patients treated with intravesical BCG are plotted and the estimated 2-, 5-, and 10-year survivals after initiation of induction BCG (iBCG) are shown on the right. RFS (b), PFS (c), and CSS (d) are plotted and compared among five groups as follows: Group a (i-6), non-maintenance six-dose iBCG; Group b (i-6 + m), six-dose iBCG plus mBCG; Group c (i-7/8), non-maintenance seven−/eight-dose iBCG; Group d (i-7/8 + m), seven−/eight-dose iBCG plus mBCG; and Group e (i ≤ 5), 5 or fewer BCG doses in iBCG. e The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for groups b-e relative to Group A were calculated using the log-rank test and tabulated. P values are also listed
