Logistic Regression Model* of Chronic Neurotoxicity at 12 Months (n=75)

Variable Comparison Odds Ratio (95% CI) p-value
Treatment Arm 2.5 Gy × 10 vs. RL
2.0 Gy × 18 vs. 8.00 (1.29, 49.50) 0.03
1.5 Gy × 24 4.37 (0.81, 23.60) 0.09
Age Continuous 1.12 (1.04, 1.21) 0.005
Education Level ≤ High School 2.96 (0.85, 10.29) 0.09
> High School RL

A backward method was used. The following variables were initially entered into the model: Treatment arm (2.5 Gy × 10 (referent) vs. 2.0 Gy × 18 vs. 1.5 Gy × 18), age (continuous), gender (male (referent) vs. female), education level (≤ high school vs. > high school (referent)), and marital status (married/living as married (referent) vs. single/divorced/widowed). Parameters with a p < 0.1 remained in the model.

CI = Confidence Interval; vs. = versus; RL = Reference Level
