Multivariable logistic regression: Predictors of residual tumor

Variables	OR	95% CI	p-value
Induction TNT	1.88	1.04–3.44	0.038
cN positive	2.07	1.06–4.17	0.033
Ulcer	6.66	2.54–19.9	<0.001
Nodularity	2.96	1.36–6.58	0.006
Irregular mucosa	3.66	1.61–8.68	0.002
Visible tumor	22.4	9.18–64.1	<0.001

The multivariable logistic regression model was built using backwards selection. Bolded numbers are statistically significant. Abbreviations: OR = odds ratio, 95% CI= 95% confidence interval, TNT= total neoadjuvant therapy, cN positive = clinical node status positive
