*All patient and treatment variables listed in Tables 1 and 2 were allowed to enter the models.
Only statistically significant predictors are reported here; a missing variable name means that the variable did not predict any of the outcomes in this table; a blank cell means that the variable was not a significant predictor for the outcome examined.
**Hispanic combined with all other minorities.
