Relative rates are adjusted for treatment exposures: cranial irradiation dose, chest irradiation dose, anthracycline dose, and alkylating agent dose, and sociodemographic factors including: age at diagnosis, race/ethnicity, sex, and attained age, education, income, and insurance status.

Lifestyle factors, including smoking status, alcohol use, physical activity, and unhealthy weight, were assigned a score of 0 (unhealthy) to 1 (healthy) and combined to create a lifestyle score ranging from 0-4 which was further categorized as unhealthy (0-2), moderately healthy (2·5-3), and healthy (3·5-4).

Covariates presented in the table (lifestyle category and chronic conditions) and socioeconomic factors (education, income, insurance) factors were included in the model as time-dependent variables.
