We have previously reported that the most powerful predictor of performance throughout our MBBS course for both undergraduate [ 5] and graduate entrants [ 25] is prior academic performance as assessed by either ATAR or tertiary grade point average, respectively.

This descriptive prospective point prevalence study was performed in The Children's Clinical University Hospital in Latvia, which is a tertiary level hospital.
Respective secondary and tertiary end points were DFS, defined as the time interval between surgery (the time point of all residual disease removal) and first detectable disease recurrence or death, and OS, defined as the time from diagnosis to death from any cause or to last follow-up.
