Unfavorable outcomes include decline in quality of life and/or physical functioning or mortality.

Multivariable logistic regression models were adjusted for age, hospital type, and treatment intent. Toxic effects, treatment intent, and hospital were added to the model as binary variables and age was added as a continuous variable.
