Independent prognostic factors for 377 patients with satellite or in-transit metastases according to the multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis.

#95% CI = 95% confidence interval; *One patient was censored before any death occurred and was removed from the analysis and two patients were removed because the number of involved lymph nodes was not available; **Disease-specific death; the model was adjusted for the confounding effects of ulceration, whether stage III was diagnosed initially or during follow-up and for missing values for tumor thickness (74 cases; 57 were patients with unknown primary melanoma).
