Because, overall, women with node-negative disease have favourable prognoses, analysis of local recurrence is more straightforward than in node-positive women, in whom high rates of metastatic disease present a strong competing risk.
In multivariate analysis, favourable predictive factors were high AREG mRNA in KRAS wild type tumours, high EREG mRNA, low Ephrin A2 receptor mRNA.
Should surgery demonstrate superior efficacy over physiotherapy at improving symptoms and preventing the development of osteoarthritis, with a favourable health economic analysis, it may be appropriate to review these funding decisions.
A recent study involving patients with active RA (DAS28 score > 2.6) found that showing RA patients "real-time" US images of their clinically inflamed joints resulted in a more favourable cost-benefit analysis as measured by the BMQ, that is, increased patient belief in the necessity of medication versus concern about taking medication [ 86].
We found a positive association between high BMI and favourable DSS in univariate analysis but not in multivariate analysis.
In the BO-MBC cohort, Karnofsky performance status >70 (P=0.02; log-rank test), single BM (P<0.001; log-rank test) and ER expression (P=0.014; log-rank test) were associated with favourable OS in univariate analysis and included into multivariate analysis.
The funnel plot for the PCI outcome however displayed possible asymmetry, suggesting the absence of small studies with favourable effects from the analysis (Additional file 1: Figure S4b).
In general, field studies do not provide the favourable circumstances for the analysis on a microscopic scale, but they are helpful in gaining an overview about the basic quantities.
With respect to clinical features as diagnostic factors, few studies in adults exist for the analysis of favourable, unfavourable diagnosis and sequelae [8], [24], [25].
Nuclear localisation was associated with favourable prognosis in multivariate analysis.
