Univariate analysis of factors associated with log(WBC nadir) in the combined cohort

log(WBC Nadir) (k/μL)
β 95% CI p
V10 −0.028 −0.05, −0.008 0.006*
V20 −0.023 −0.04, −0.01 <0.001*
V30 −0.012 −0.02, −0.0004 0.043*
V40 −0.010 −0.02, 0.001 0.067
Mean Pelvic Bone Marrow Dose −0.037 −0.07, −0.004 0.028*
log(BMI) 0.555 0.17, 0.94 0.005*
Age 0.002 −0.004, 0.01 0.494
Black Race −0.019 −0.22, 0.18 0.853
Stage −0.19 −0.38, 0.005 0.056
Comorbidity −0.037 −0.24, 0.16 0.715

CI: confidence interval; WBC: white blood cell count; β: regression coefficient (e.g., 1% increase in V20 corresponds to a reduction in log(WBC nadir) of 0.023 k/μL); BMI: body mass index.
