On multivariate analysis, early RT versus the 3.1-4-week interval was significantly associated with poorer OS (adjusted HR 1.72; 95% CI 1.19-2.48; p=0.004), while time to RT of >5 weeks but within 90 days of surgery did not adversely impact OS (p=0.563).In this large national database analysis, delaying RT within 90 days of surgery was not associated with inferior outcomes.
In a multivariate analysis, early implantation of a MCS device before PCI (p = 0.04) and before requiring inotropes and vasopressors (p = 0.05) was associated with increased survival.
In multivariate analysis, early high blood pressure development was predictive of survival at day 30 (OR 0.03, p = 0.03) whereas underlying rhythmic heart disorder seemed predictive of increased mortality (OR 24, p = 0.03).
In multivariate analysis, early stage was a significant favorable prognostic factor for OS, LSS, DFS, and LC (p values: 0.002, 0.001, 0.04, 0.03, respectively).
From multivariate analysis, early placement of an advanced airway was significantly associated with better neurological outcome (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) for one minute delay, 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.88 to 0.95).
According to multivariate analysis, early stages (Masaoka-Koga stage I or II) and advanced stages (IVa or IVb) of both thymomas and thymic carcinomas correlated significantly with survival (Table 3).
The association of total GAMSAT score with academic performance was predominantly dictated by the score in GAMSAT Section 3 (Reasoning in the biological and physical sciences) with Section 2 (Written communication) contributing in multivariate analysis early in the course and Section 1 (Reasoning in the humanities and social sciences) in the latter years (Table 8).
Multivariate analysis discriminated early prognostic factors (within the first 24 hours after the septic shock diagnosis).
Multivariate analysis revealed early TS as a prognostic marker (P=0.021; HR 1.624).
Moreover, although not statistically significant on multivariate analysis, the early, rather than late, use of OLB seems to have a survival advantage.
