?? It is unclear to me what "How to interpret the result" means. Note that the survival package is very well documented and there is a vignette specifically on the topic of the use of "Spline terms in a Cox model." Have you studied it?
If you want to discuss the statistical issues, e.g. of survival modeling or the technical details of penalized smoothing splines, that is mostly OT here: stats.stackexchange.com would probably be a better place to post for that. This list is mostly about R programming rather than statistics, although they do sometimes intersect. If I have misunderstood your question, you might wish to clarify exactly what it is that you are seeking in another post. Finally, as you can see from the below, post in PLAIN TEXT ONLY, as html can get mangled by the server on this plain text mailing list.
