P value from Wald χ2 test in Cox regression. MV model uses stepwise selection with entry level 0.1 and variable remains if meet the 0.05 level.

Variables considered for clinical model: age ≥65, female, hemoglobin <12 g/dL, albumin <4 g/dL, serum B2M >3 mg/L, bone marrow PCs ≥20%, M-protein ≥3 g/dL, and uninvolved immunoglobulins low (<600 mg/dL if IgG, <50 mg/dL if IgM, <100 mg/dL if IgA).

Variables considered for clinical + GEP model: age ≥65, female, hemoglobin <12 g/dL, albumin <4 g/dL, serum B2M >3 mg/L, bone marrow PCs ≥20%, M-protein ≥3 g/dL, uninvolved immunoglobulins low (<600 mg/dL if IgG, <50 mg/dL if IgM, <100 mg/dL if IgA), and involved SFLC >25 mg/dL, involved/uninvolved (SFLC ratio >10, GEP 70-gene risk >−0.26, GEP poly-PC >11.60, GEP PR subgroup).
