a

Each outcome modeled separately, adjusting for gender, age, race, insurance status, facility type, Charlson/Deyo score, tumor location, tumor differentiation, lymphovascular invasion, tumor size, clinical T-category, and clinical N-category. Reference category for each model is neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

b

Length of stay was modeled as a multivariable Poisson regression with results reported as incidence-rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals.
