The difference remains significant in multivariate analysis after adjusting for age (<60 or ≥60), stage (LD or ED) and tumor burden (HR = 8.4, p = 0.008 for PFS and HR = 4.7, p = 0.021 for OS; Supplementary Data 5).
Age group remained significant for OS on multivariate analysis, after adjusting for N classification and treatment.Despite more advance stage at presentation, jNPC patients had better survival than did aNPC patients.
In a multivariate analysis, after adjusting for age, race, the presence of nodal metastases, and lesion size, high platelet count was still associated with poor prognosis (P =.04).
AFP was no longer significant in multivariate analysis, after introduction of the variables "severe fibrosis" and "serum GGT" in the model.
One difference with our previous study is the disappearance of the association between AFP and SVR in multivariate analysis, after controlling for both serum GGT and liver fibrosis.
In multivariate analysis, after controlling for multiple confounding factors, the influence of BF duration on adult bone characteristics persisted in males.
In a multivariate analysis, after adjustment for potential confounders (i.e: FVC, Sleep time spent with SpO2<90%, HbA1c), neither RANTES, nor adiponectin and RH-PAT were independently associated with the risk of having OHS.
In multivariate analysis, after controlling for the confounding factors (dietary intake of calcium, current weight and physical activity at adolescence), the duration of BF showed an influence on bone characteristics in males.
This association was confirmed at multivariate analysis, after adjustment for concurrent somatic and psychiatric diseases.
This was confirmed by means or a multivariate analysis after adjusting for preoperative and postoperative scores.
Table 2 shows results of multivariate analysis after adjusting for age and sex.
