Association between toxicity of experimental treatment and global QoL results
| Toxicity | QoL results (global QoL), n (%) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Not available | Without statistically significant difference | Unfavourable | Positive | Chi-square test | |
| Without statistically significant difference between arms (N = 116, 19.6%) | 61 (52.6) | 36 (31.0) | 5 (4.3) | 14 (12.1) | P < 0.001 |
| More toxic experimental arm (N = 326, 55.1%) | 151 (46.3) | 114 (35.0) | 17 (5.2) | 44 (13.5) | |
| Less toxic experimental arm (N = 66, 11.1%) | 20 (30.3) | 19 (28.8) | 2 (3.0) | 25 (37.9) | |
| Different toxicity profile (N = 84, 14.2%) | 42 (50.0) | 26 (31.0) | 0 (0) | 16 (19.0) | |
