Table IV. Multivariate analysis by logistic regression of chewing domain scores, according to mandibular resection, tongue resection, radiotherapy (RT), and type of reconstruction.
Mandibular resection | p = 0.038 |
No resection + marginal | |
Segmental resection | |
Tongue resection | p = 0.88 |
T1 M/B | |
T2 M/B | |
T3 M/B | |
RT | p = 0.32 |
RT pre-op | |
RT post-op | |
Type of reconstruction | p = 0.25 |
Free flap | |
Pedicled flap |
T1 = Tongue resection less than 25%; T2 = between 25% to 50% (hemiglossectomy); T3 = more than 50% up to total glossectomy; M = mobile tongue; B = base of tongue.
