On multivariate analysis, less-than-complete primary site response and post-radiotherapy nodal necrosis were identified as independent prognostic factors for RC.
The other SNPs listed in the multivariate analysis were less consistently significant across different analyses and time points.
In the multivariate analysis, platelets less than 50 000 cells/mm, CRP greater than 10 mg/dl and pulmonary infiltration on chest x ray were determined to be independent factors for the prediction of neutropenic fever with complications that requires maximal attention from physicians (table 4).
While the analyst can control for the former using standard multivariate regression analysis, less can be done about the latter.
On multivariate analysis, a less-than-complete primary site response (hazard ratio 8.926, 95% confidence interval 2.38-33.47, p = 0.001) and post-radiotherapy nodal necrosis (hazard ratio 7.413, 95% confidence interval 2.03-27.14, p = 0.002) were identified as independent prognostic factors for regional control.
Postoperatively (based on multivariate analysis) patients with less experienced pain and fulfilled expectations regarding pain were more often satisfied.
P-values less than or equal to 0.01 were considered statistically significant in the univariate analysis, whilst in multivariate analysis when P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
The findings of this multivariate analysis are more or less similar to the findings of bivariate analysis.
In the multivariate analysis, Latinos were significantly less likely than whites to complete the mental health evaluation.
According to multivariate analysis, pericardial effusions were less likely to occur in recipients with a history of previous cardiac surgery (odds ratio 0.13, 95% confidence interval 0.05-0.36, P <.0001) and with greater weight (odds ratio 0.96, 95% confidence interval 0.94-0.99, P <.0048).
In multivariate analysis, men were significantly less likely to report MVA (AOR: 0.33, CI: 0.21 – 0.21).
