higher smoking rates in these populations. 7 , 14 Furthermore, the inferior outcomes observed in patients of lower socioeconomic status (SES) with SCCHN have largely been attributed to a predominance of HPV-negative disease. 7 , 14 However, these

pathologic outcomes were collected locally and merged after deidentification. OS was defined from date of tissue diagnosis to date of death, with censoring at the date of last follow-up for patients with no event. The date of final analysis for the cohort was
