3. Sensitivity analyses: altered fractionation versus conventional radiotherapy.
All trials | Trials assessed as being at low risk of bias | |
Total mortality | HR 0.86 (95% CI 0.76 to 0.98) (13 trials) |
HR 0.93 (95% CI 0.80 to 1.07) (5 trials) |
Locoregional control | HR 0.79 (95% CI 0.70 to 0.89) (11 trials) |
HR 0.79 (95% CI 0.68 to 0.91) (4 trials) |
Disease free survival | HR 0.85 (95% CI 0.70 to 1.03) (8 trials) |
HR 0.95 (95% CI 0.0.74 to 1.22)* (2 trials) |
*Fixed‐effect model due to limited number of trials. CI = confidence interval; HR = hazard ratio.
