It can be reasonably presumed that some relationship for increasing survival with intensity of therapy exists as one increases intensity from no therapy to a greater level of therapy, with a plateau response occurring at or before 20 to 25 mL/kg per hour.
However, no specific correlation between survival and intensity of Treg infiltration could be demonstrated [ 17].
Data on outcomes related to treatment characteristics will be collected from the medical records of the patient, including survival time, intensity of chemotherapy, hospital admissions and frequency of contact with a psychologist/dietician/other health care professional.
In univariate survival analysis, intensity of CA IX expression was a predictor of DFS (P=0.003) and DSS (P=0.034), both being markedly longer in tumours with negative or weakly positive staining.
Data for survival based on intensity of β1-integrin staining and Bcl-2 staining were combined.
For the survival analysis both intensity and fraction of cyclin D1 were used (Tables 2 and 3 >).
Extent is commonly used to define positive staining for the purposes of survival analysis as intensity of staining can be influenced by subtle differences in the staining process between different batches of sections processed.
When the same analysis was performed for overall survival, LRIG1 staining intensity and the percentage of LRIG1-positive cells correlated with survival in the patients with HPV-positive tumours but not in the patients with HPV-negative tumours (graph not shown).
Logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratios of survival by smoking intensity category to age 75 years in both studies and to age 80 years in the Renfrew/Paisley Study only (because 23 surviving Collaborative Study participants had not reached age 80 years at the end of follow-up).
The species has physical characteristics that allow survival after low-intensity fire, namely thick bark, and reproduction processes that facilitate recovery after stand replacement fire from seeds stored in serotinous cones.
The relationship between peak intensities, survival status and disease-free status was further analysed at various time points by univariate analysis using two-sided Fisher's exact test with Lancaster's mid-P correction (2FET) and the independent association of each variable further analysed by multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression (BLR).
