  1. * Overall significance as a prognostic factor. The difference between the individual p-value and total p-value in the multivariate analysis is relevant in cases where there are more than two categories for a given variable. Overall p-value is calculated based on a general assessment of all categories for the given variable, but the individual p-value only calculates the significance of a given category versus the reference category.
