Incidence of RT initiation, interruption, modification, and early termination by treatment arm

Treatment arm

Abbreviations: OR = odds ratio of HD:ID related to each endpoint; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval around the OR; N/A = treatment arm was the only significant variable, therefore the univariate OR is used. Other abbreviations as in Table 1.

Unadjusted OR is from univariate analysis; adjusted OR is from multivariate logistic regression controlling for other covariates.

*

p value from comparison of two proportions.
