Based on this matrix, it was performed a hierarchical clustering analysis, a kind of multivariate analysis supported by the resource "cluster observations" available on MiniTab (www.minitab.com).
In 2 other series of breast cancer (Rotterdam [26], 286 cases: Uppsala [27]; 235 cases) low ISCU was a poor prognostic factor in multivariate analysis (Supporting Tables S3 and S4) (p = 0.038 and 0.015 respectively).
The multivariate analysis supports many of the findings of the bivariate analysis.
Multivariate analysis, supported by SEM, will be used to address confounding.
Multivariate analysis supported expression of HIF-1 α and VEGF-D as significant survival predictors (P = 0.044 and 0.035, respectively).
120 Multivariate analysis supports the idea that somatic comorbidities seen in IBS are distinct disorders and not manifestations of one somatization disorder.
The multivariate analysis supports this conclusion as the ProNeural versus non-ProNeural subtype of GBM within patients demonstrates itself as the primary favourable survival prognosis indicator.
The multivariate analysis supported our initial finding that the amount of fentanyl equivalents given intraoperatively was not associated with a change in RFS (HR: 1.074, 95% CI: 0.98 1.11, P = 0.088).
The AJCC stage was an independent poor-prognosis risk factor for overall survival and event-free survival in the multivariate analysis, supporting the usefulness of the FNCLCC grades and AJCC staging system.
This may be due to our relatively small sample size, however, other cross-sectional reports among non-ESRD populations have also failed to find an association between 25(OH D concentration and CRP concentration following multivariate analysis, supporting our conclusion [ 4, 14, 18].
