Independent Predictors of Measures of Autonomic Dysfunction Among Childhood Cancer Survivors
Adjusted OR (95% CI) for ≥2 Measures of Autonomic Dysfunction | P Value | |
---|---|---|
Age at evaluation | 1.03 (1.01-1.05) | <0.001 |
Smoking history | 1.40 (1.02-1.92) | 0.039 |
Chest-directed radiation | 2.06 (1.52-2.75) | <0.001 |
Cranial radiation | 1.49 (1.08-2.05) | 0.015 |
Carboplatin | 2.50 (1.42-4.40) | 0.001 |
Other variables included in this multivariable model, but not identified as independent predictors, were age at cancer diagnosis, sex, body mass index, alkylating agent, and anthracycline therapy. Note that body mass index was included in the model as a 3-category variable.
